Help indentifying frame

Hi everyone,

i have this tt bike and i would like to find out the brand of the frame. I donīt know if itīs repainted so i donīt know if the stickers of tubing are true. French thread, 27mm seatpost, 700-650 wheels, front and rear dropouts without brand, only on the bridge of the rear break i can read "MGD? DEP", and it has slightly crimped tubing.

Thanks in advance!

Frameset produced in France by HARAL.

Company located in the southeast; right up against the Swiss border. (Hence the NADAX bb.)

HARAL - encyclo du vélo

Company also produced "normal" cycles -

Haral course

You mean like the ones you can buy off eBay for a few bucks? Unfortunately bike decals don’t always help with provenance.

No, what I would like is to confirm if mine is also made with excell tubing(not Mexico model because mine doesnīt have little diamonds on the tubes) and the columbus cromor sticker is wrong.

Only reason was able to ID is that a shop local to me had one in its racks back in the early '80's.

So got to view one in person.

Hope you are able to learn more regarding your example....
