The machine's Huret model 700 front mech launched 1966. Beginning 1974-75 its name was changed to Club and later to Club II. The contoured surround for the travel adjustment screws mark it as relatively late. If original, it could be a dating aid. The bicycle's model of Huret shift lever set did not launch until 1976-77. This pattern of BOCAMA lug paired with the ESGE chainstay bridge and the paint colour are consistent with a Gitane product.

Is the serial number marked on the outer face of the left dropout?
