Hi, Andy-

The Belleri bars and stem might be OEM but Bertin also used Milremo and Atax/Philippe products. Your frameset looks to be a Bertin possibly a C 34 from the Vitus Durifort frame and fork. The fork would have a visible seam in the steerer as would the main tubes and stays since Durifort was a seamed low alloy steel tube set. The crimped stay caps were characteristic of Bertin's Durifort framesets. The lug style is about what would be expected of an early to mid-80s frameset.
