I finally got around to stripping the frame from all the parts and cleaning and polishing the frame set. I am thinking whether I should touch up the frame with transparant nail polish or somehting like that and then I'll wax it.


The top tube has some small dents which I had not mentioned previously. Let's consider this patina


One of the seatstays is kinda flattened a bit at the joint with the dropout. I believe it was made this way, but it is a bit weird...


The brake bridge is vertically drilled, I actually had a hard time removing the the vertical bolt because it just kept rotating in its aluminimum "body", the nut wouldn't loosen at all. I don't think the bolt is reusable anymore, but I belive I have a set of Mafac Dural forge with a vertical bolt


The braze-on bracket is a little bit broken


I think that I will have to modify the chainguard if I am gonna use a double in front. Like make a slot for the front derailleur, I don't see how it's gonna work without such a modification


I found a serial number: 6716. I might be from 1967, not 65 as I thougth before
