Well, I didn't mean to start a complain against the seller, I was just wondering if someone here would know the true identity of the bike. If a buyer is willing to pay $800 for a bike they should know enough about it. Anyway, I give people some credit since it hasn't sold in over a year.

I think the concensus is the bike is French. I thought that might be the case when I saw the mafac brakes.
