I don't think Renault ever made bikes, unless they breifly owned Gitane. Gitane supplied bikes to the Renault pro team. This bike could easily be a Gitane, in fact that would be a very good guess.

So far there has been no concrete results. Some people seem to think it is a Puegeot, but I can't seem to find any Puegeots that look exactly like it- especially with the same dropouts. I have made a crude website with all the details and pictures. Any help would be truly appreciated.
The person I bought it from said it was a Renault, but I can't seem to find any indication they made decent bikes. This one is nice. Nice steel, light, and with what I think are plain nervex lugs.
All the known info is on this site:
