That's a Paris Sport as in Victor Fraysse. This particular model sold for the price of a PX-10 and offered better components. The frame was perhaps a notch down. What a good value it was though.

My son bought himself this Victor at college. Reynolds 531, Stronglight, Simplex SLJ, Weinmann brakes and rims. Does anyone know more about these besides the one paragraph on the CL website? Anybody have a Lyotard pedal cap?

Aside from the need for many bottles of blue nail polish it's in pretty good shape. Not bad for $140. (especially after Dad showed up with workstand, tools, and lube)
