The other clues (but not leading to conclusions) that HS is distinctive, seen it before but drawing a blank. (Edit: looks slightly like a Milremo/Andre Bertin product, but just slightly)
The headlugs are too but for some reason I'm thinking they are more like Dutch than Swiss...need to ring a louder bell than they are.
fun to hear from better sleuths, seems like a nice find!
one more question: is the LH seat lug ear actually threaded or is that a loose bolt missing a nut?
ST and DT are 28,6 mm and TT is 26,8 might have to re-check tomorrow, it's night here and couldn't read calipers 100% precisely.
The HS is sitting in a paint thinner bath until tomorrow after work, will do some photos then. I judged it to be french by the washer between the upper cup and the tightening nut, but might be wrong as the Cinelli stem is 22.2 mm so the steerer shouldn't be french, will measure tomorrow.
The seat lug ear is not threaded, it is a simple bolt missing a nut.
