Just a thought while checking out the pics. Maybe the long crossover cable is from a mixte? I've seen a couple where the brake mounts on the middle stays and the crossover cable goes around the seat tube, the crossovers that way are quite long. I think I've seen it with Mafac racers. it seems a bit odd with competitions, but maybe for a higher quality mixte?
