My two cents: French, of a smaller manufacturer.

-----
the dimensions posted by capnjonny in this message would seem to rule out a french origin for the frame
21
he gives a saddle pillar size of 27.0mm and a seat tube diameter of "29.0mm" - so presumably 28.6mm

Still not ready to commit to A Mfg. or year on the second mystery (Iitalian?) frame. I was given contact info for the original owner who lives in Santa Cruz Ca but have not been able to pick his brains yet for details.
PX10
In the mean time I have removed all the original paint and mounted all the appropriate French hardware I have on the px 10. Surprisingly I have a good front wheel (nisi rim with dimples, Normandy hub) a rear wheel of a different origin with another Normandy hub.
other bits:
Hurret rear der, ( i have 2 nice plastic simplex's but they both have hangers attached
Simplex pushrod front
Stronglight cranks on Sronglight spindle
Mafac 'Racer' brakes and pads,
Mafac levers w/ half hoods
Simplex seat post ( lable came off )
Brooks pro saddle ( Have an Ideale in the shop which will prob go on.)
Know who sells the appropriate decals?
By the way, the p/o had a step cut in the original simplex dropout. so he could use the Campi der? I could use any number of suntour or shimano units but I like the Hurret. Hope I have it installed right.
by the by the way, The rear wheel shown is a place holder until I can get someone to lace the Normandy rear hub i have to another rim. The freewheel shown is way to big for the hurret derailleur I have, which will take a 28 tooth rear cog.
