Hello Lalas,

with respect to suggestions of frenchness - have a look at the spotwelds. they are square, france does round ones, germany square. note also the attachment of the upper end of the frame's seat stays to the seat lug. this is done by a staking technique widely employed by cycle factories in germany and austria but not used in france.

easy measurements you can make -

tube diameters: top tube will be 25.4mm, steerer will be 25.4mm, down and seat tubes will be 28.6mm.

shell width: if 70mm it will be italian threaded 36X24f, if 68mm will be bsc/iso threaded.

cycle may have been produced by one of the large german makers. they do a good deal of private labeling so even if we were to learn the factory we may not know how bicycle originally badged.

since it is a respray there is always the possibility that some transfer vestiges may remain beneath the paint finish...

yes, i have an agrati print catalogue.
