The last few weeks this Liberia was built up here. It is most probably a Liberia C 15 from the 1970s.
The Reynolds sticker is listed as from 1977 to 1982, though I have no clue if that has any merit.
Seattube: 54 CC
Toptube: 55 CC
Serial: 39341
Handlebar / stem: Ava set.
Brake levers, Dia Compe Ene (guidonnet, and they hang quite low compared to Mafac or CLB).
Crankset: Shimano 105 Golden Arrow.
Derailers and shifters: Shimano Z series.
Brakes: Tektro 539 nutted.
Hubs: Shimano Exage 7-speed.
Rims: Super Champion / Wolber Modele 58, silver anodized.
Seatpost: Ergotec, maybe made by Kalloy? 26,4 mm.
I still have 2 issues that I cannot seem to resolve myself.
1. The tires, Panaracer Pasela 28mm, don't go even on the rims. I tried multiple times, but I cannot get it to work. The inside of the rim has a sort of deeper bed. I used rimtape of 16mm which doesn't go even, but that is sideways uneven. Do I need a different size for the Modele 58, is that it? And go wider or smaller?
2. The inner tubes don't hold air. I have used different brands already. Is it that if spokes come out of the nipple, they are too long? I already spotted one that seems to be too long. This feels like a somewhat silly question
There is a similar Liberia here, in white. I has different rear dropouts and different cabling around the bottom-bracket.

By the way, I put a slightly wrong Reynolds decal on it. The one below was originally on it.
