What is the seat post diameter? I presume the seat tube outer diameter is 28.0mm (very French!). A seat post diameter of 26.4 or 26.6mm would indicate high-quality butted main triangle tubing, where straight gauge would take a smaller diameter, and plain carbon steel, smaller still.

I am not a fan of Sugino Maxy cranks, but they are better than cottered steel, and at least yours are the later version with a replaceable outer chainring.
