I have an M. Yvars that is a moderately low end bike boom model. Undistinguished tubing, out of the crate plain lugs, standard fare French foil decals and built with Nervar Star crankset, Huret derailleurs and shifters with the rear a Svelto, CLB Racer brakes (they howl at least as capably as MAFACs do). Perhaps Exceltoo hubs laced to tubular rims. Can't recall the remaining details and the bike is presently on loan to a co-worker.
I recall that one of the seat tube transfers states "M. Yvars Constructeur". If M. Yvars was indeed a constructeur, this one is not an example. I also seem to recollect that Yvars may have been a distributor of parts based on a glimpse of some catalog scans somewhere.
