WRT dropouts -

assumed also they would be a NERVEX pattern but could not find them illustrated in me NERVEX catalogue.

there are other makers of stamped ends in France.

slightly surprised to read of the 25.4mm pillar size. frame certainly looks nice enough that would have expected something such as Durifort tubing.

look forward to the observations of [MENTION=359579]Filochard[/MENTION] and/or [MENTION=383399]MauriceMoss[/MENTION]
