A friend of mine sent me this photo of this frame he picked up. He wants to know what it is. He thinks it's english. Anyhow....do you know what it is?

Lug pattern and head transfer ring a faint bell.

Have seen them before but can no pull up a name at the moment.

Think it hails from a Germanic nation rather than the UK.

Does it have a stencil/fade type paint finish?

Will any additional imagery be gliding in or is this it?

I'll ask him for more photos.

Here are some more photos:

something about the lugs ring a faint "Austrian" bell, but not any specific or well-known Austrian brand.

That stuck seat post looks real bad along with the mangled clamp.

yes....he's working on that seatpost. I told him to use lye on it at this point.

Anybody else?

thank you for the additional images

appears original gear ensemble was Huret; probably something such as an Allvit

that is one prominent seam on the seat tube!

would expect bottom bracket shell to be 68mm BSC

was a fork included, or did it come to your friend without?

appears there be quite a few markings in the head lugs both above and below the cutouts. has your friend been able to read any of them?
