Hi i picked up a vintage track bike the other day and im looking for some info. The sticker on the headtube says "Designed by F" with a sheild with red/white/blue in it and says Ets Fraysse underneath.
On the seattube there is a decal that reads "Tubing Valstar Premier Choix".
It appears to be from the 50's/60's and has really nice lugwork and a gold/amber fade paintjob with black pinstriping. There are some numbers stamped on the non driveside dropout but are unreadable.
Any ideas?

I just sold a road version Fraysse... They're a house brand of the Paris Sport bike shop, which I think is or was in New York. The one I sold was from around '75.

I had heard that they were also labeled as Paris Sports but wasnt sure of the validity of it.
Anyone have any more info or idea on the tubing?

Check out this link, and especailly the posting titled "a Sugar Coated Paris Sport" lots of info, but probably won't help much in getting specs on the tubing...but maybe if you drill deeper:
