Could that have been manufactured by Gitane? The decal on the chainstay regarding the paint is identical to the bikes produced by Gitane at the time (early 1970's).

The bike I am going to show you is a most exquisite example of workmanship, and I got it for a song. Because it says Manufrance on it, and nobody is interested in anything with a Manufrance decal. It don't say Super this or Super that or Rene Something or other, ebay listings pass away unoticed and I get gear like this for approx 50 bucks. Same gripe as usual: look at the bike, not the label. Even the parts monkeys (the hackers apart of all bikes for the bits) missed it.

It should be here: http://membres.lycos.fr/partspeekers/newpage25.html

My deepest apologies to all for buying this gear up whilst ye sleep and dream of Masis...
