[MENTION=527157]Matador6[/MENTION]...lovely frame...very similar to my Gitane except I don't have chrome socks. Your frame has pre-foil era seat tube decal similar to what is seen in the Gitane/Geminiani catalog of what I think is 1965. As far as seat stay caps, Chas has posted numerous time over on GitaneUSA on the finish of the seat stays. Chas sees a transition from Carre-style willow leaf seat stay caps to a swagged seat stay on higher end models which was incorporated as a time/budget saving move as the bike boom progressed. All well and good. What you and I have dates to prior to that sequence (which dates from very late 1960s into early 70s). Earlier in the 1960s, Gitane and Geminiani as well, had frames concurrently with the finished seat stay caps like both our frames have or a swagged and crimped seat stay. I think the swagged and crimped style was found on more budget conscious models as it emulates the finish on our frames but did not require the handwork of finishing the seat stay as exhibited on our frames. Below is a picture of a Gitane track frame, pre-foil era with the seat stay caps like our frames. There is also a picture of Anquetil on seat tube which dates this bike to 1965 or earlier.
