Hi Jonathan, I figured that some of our resident people "in the Nervex know" would have posted this by now, but their bottom bracket shells carry NERVEX serial numbers, which are not to be confused with the frame manufacturer's serial numbers. This sounds like what you have described, but I'm an Italian bike guy, and don't have examples on hand to compare to.

http://tinyurl.com/2f6gcdg ??This bike has NR components, Nervex lugs, Cinelli bars/stem. Garner's Bikeshop Redwood City, CA sticker on clincher wheels. ?French BB-Not sure if fixed cup is R or L (will check). Long serial number 14 digits? Can't read because of repaint. Mondia has been suggested but the serial number seems too long. The braze on cable guides seem unusual for most ?french bikes (peugeot,gitane, motobecane etc.) ?Thanks for the help,?Jon PitkinSan Francisco, CAUSA
