The bike is really well put together and is in great shape. The Nervex type lugs are nice. I like the brooks saddle and the vintage Jim Blackburn rack as well. The Maillard hubs just spin and spin.
My guess is that it's a late 70s or early 80s bike, judging by the forks and emblem. Hard to tell without more pictures.
