British or French -- you may be able to tell by the threading of the bottom bracket cups. In your parts photo, it looks like the cups might be Stronglight. Check the fixed cup (which it appears you haven't removed) for either engraved threading info, or number of incised "rings" and report back. If English thread, the fixed cup will be left-hand thread, but if French, it will be right-hand thread -- I would advise that you not attempt removal before ascertaining which it is.
Doesn't look like a particularly high-end frame, though it might be fairly old -- 70s (likely), or maybe even 60s. Front wheel is low-flange, and rear high-flange, so it's probable that the front wheel is a replacement. Are the rims 27" or 700C? Tires should tell which, and front and rear might be different if the front is a replacement. |
Welcome to the Bicycle Forum. It looks like you are having a bit of fun with your new/old bike.
When being asked for information, pertaining to what kind of bike this or that is, I like to see clear shots of frame set details. These details include fork crown, head tube lugs and front of head tube, seat tube lug, bottom bracket, bottom of bottom bracket, drops - both front and rear and the seat stay brace. To that add anything that appears to be unusual... http://www.mytenspeeds.com/My_TenSpe...eAnatomy_1.jpg Components, if there appear to be original, can be used to help determine the bicycles vintage. So, with some better pictures coupled with a bit of research, the OP will have a much better chance of discovering what kind of bike it is. Hope this is a help. |
