My Zeus (I think)
As I found it - 30euro brocante market buy! The Prugnat lugs, Idéale saddle and early Dura Ace groupset attracted me, although it far too small for me to ride (like so many otherwise great bikes I find here in France). I've since stripped it and cleaned everything, so plan to pass on the frame to someone who needs a small size. Fork crowns are Zeus 2000 and dropouts also have Zeus stampings. All-531 tubing, too.

For best results buy expensive tires and good wheels.
MUCH BETTER to ride a mid-level frame with great wheels & tires, than a great frame with mid-level tires and wheels.
I have a 70's Zeus, so kind of a fan boy, but we get far too few Zeus comments than the brand deserves. IMHO.
edit: What's the rear spacing? I'm guessing 130?
