Thank you for your swift reply, [MENTION=173992]non-fixie[/MENTION]! My assuptions - which I didn't even mention - were right; it is a 1962 RIH. How cool! My plans are a complete restoration according to the picture I just found on the link you provided to fongers.net. Because of the details on the frame, I already figured that it would've been some sort of randonneur. So because I already wanted to fit race handlebars on it, it wil most likely become that: a randonneur.
