am going to make a guess that frame originates with Flandria

they were the first manufacturer in europe to adopt Shimano for pro bikes in 1973

member non-fixie has posted about this here -

Vintage bicycle rebuild... follow my progress till the end.

Flandria far and away Belgium's largest producer from a unit volume standpoint

they did a good deal of contract work

if shell width is 70mm yet is BSC threaded that would be another piece of supportive data...

BB shell is 68mm. Adding two photos for info. Made in Belgium on head tube decal and steer tube is stamped Nervor (Nervar?).
