Hi Everyone
First off, I'm new to this forum so a big hello to all the members!
I have picked up a old Andre Bertin Road Frame &Forks and am trying to identify the model.

From what i can find on the web I think its an 80's model judging by the decal and fork crown shape. (Ive had a search at
http://bertinclassiccycles.wordpress.com/ and the examples seem to confirm this)
There is no identifying number on the frame apart from RGF on the BB shell. The only other indications I have are :
Milremo rear dropouts
Supervitus fork dropouts
A Reynolds sticker on the fork (im sure its says 531)
A Bocama sticker on the downtube, I assume jsut applies to the spearpoint lugs.
Any idea what the main tubing might be ? Vitus, /Durifort? ..or Reynolds to match the fork?
The frame has no dents but the paint work is fairly bad and is very faded, as you can see a deeper colour where the components used to be. Im torn between keeping it as a beater or, getting it resprayed and sourcing some replacement decals , its my size and might make a good upgrade from my current Gitane Interclub frame which has stamped dropouts
Does anyone have any idea what model it may be?
Thanks!
Peter
