Morning all. Just done a swap for a track bike, named above. Although it looks like a 57/58 from the HT size it measures as a 55 square. More fool me. At least it was a swap...
Any clues on serial numbering? Being of the French variety I don't hold out much hope, but any info would be good. I'll post some pics in a while.
Hope you're all keeping well.

WOW!
That's the coolest track bike I have seen in a long time.
Looks like a tall 54 from here, hopefully you can make it work.

With the exception of the bar tape (which I believe is officially called "clown's vomit") that is a very beautiful bike!
And for what it's worth, it does look bigger than 54 cm to me as well.
Thank you for the pics.
