Frame painted over...
 
...making it extra difficult to ID this FL CL listing.
Any guesses?

Cinelli, SunTour Superbe. Hmm...

Japanese build?

Seems odd to have 2 braze-ons on the front dropouts, but on 1 on the rear. Maybe the fork has been replaced? No guess as to what it might be.

Also shifter bosses and a clamp on shifter stop.

A previous owner apparently spent the time and / or money to make it exactly how they wanted it. Should be nice, whatever it is.

Anyway, that would be my justification for buying it ... :rolleyes:

Yes, great color!

Agreeing with the previous posters that it seems modified. Those two eyelets on the front dropout vary in design from each other. To be fair, I have seen bodgy looking braze-ons from the factory but the cable stop/banded downtube shifter mount and repaint point to modified

At least the seat post isn't stuck.

Check threading, unless you just like French surprises.

the pentagonal no-slide pib pretty much tells us it is an item of french origin
