It is a case of mixed feelings going this route, would not get as much or have the flexibility of possibly trading parts, I bought it as a frame with wheels so in one sense it is not original and the paint was quite scraped up requiring a lot of liberal touching up. Hopefully someone will build it up again or give it a repaint, colour change etc. Admittedly a rare one, could not find any information on it so could very well be a one off. Strong evidence regarding frame details that it might have been made at the Urago shop in Nice.

One the one hand I would have liked to hold onto it but practicality and circumstances have me going this route. Worse things have happened!
