Looks interesting, looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Maybe it was one one of those times when "you" were meant to have it
Cheers,
Chris

No, not a thing. I don't know if braze ons were added or original. Camp vertical droputs are somewhat rare, don't know if those were added either...
Thanks, looks way too long for me: I'm in the 90-100 range. Actually, I think I have a Cinelli stem in French I've been saving for about 20 years!

The rear dropouts look original to me, the style would be hard to rework and get to look like that. The fork looks "wrong" I would expect it to have the same treatment at the ends for me to think its original. The rake just looks lower level that the frame. No name frames often get overlooked on ebay. Remember that "Gios" that had a Gios fork and appeared nice Italian but just not in concert with the fork? It went cheap too, if I had remembered to snipe or be there at the end I probably would have bought it... Just too many other projects at the ready, staring at me wanting attention.

Just arrived today, seems like a very nice frame. Threading is English, not French, though seatpost is 26.4. Fork dropouts are not Campagnolo like rear, so maybe fork is from something else...

+1 Lack of clarity on shipping cost, no original paint or decals, no brand, all marketing hurdles. Such hurdles can result in a nice deal for the buyer.
Although shipping comment says will refund everything over $1, unless I know the method, how he packs it, etc., shipping cost can be all over the map.

It could be mid-to-late 80's Peugeot. Although, it seems rare to find a Peugeot with Campy DO's.

Hunting down the right parts may take time, but I suspect you won't regret this. And if you need help, send me an email, as I have a few French-spec components.

those Campagnolo vertical dropouts were crude stampings, that's why they are so rare. Very few people wanted stamped dropouts on a nice bike. If Campagnolo had come out with some nice forged vertical dropouts, we probably would have all used them back then.
