Joe,
     You're correct about the things that needed bearings, such as cranksets, headesets, etc. But they also sold a nice seat post that I'm pretty certain was made in France, perhaps by LaPrade. Maybe JPR? (After all, it had that semi-finished appearance that makes JPR seatposts so distinctive.)
