appears to have come with a Verot chainset. for the date given would expect a model 57.





have seen the lightning symbol on the binder previously but do not know or recall the manufacturer who employed it. "most" french production cycles came with a binder manufactured by ALGI.

see nothing to contra-indicate a MICMO origin for the frame; the "fishmouth" treatment of the stays where they join the dropouts is something seen on quality model MICMO products, but certainly not exclusive to them.

another producer of quality Geminiani models was Cizeron.

does steerer bear a Reynolds marking, or is it NERVOR?

PIVO stem/bar set appears correct for model and time. IIRC PIVO and Philippe brands were under the same roof at one point. stem closely similar to the Philippe model 40. here is an earlier edition of this stem, sometimes referred to by enthusiasts as "lugged" -








Lyotard 45 pedals are mentioned; this would likely be the model 45CA -




fortunate that MAFAC brake levers are the date correct early type with brass pivot pins and the narrower/rounder lever -

sadly, appears that NERVEX pegs Ref. 845 & 846 to carry an AD HOC frame pump on the underside of the top tube have been "drewed"

should you elect to go for a respray you might wish to consider adding these back...
