There was definitely an Octave Lapize cycling line that included bikes and accessories. To the best of my knowledge, I am aware of only two actual catalogs although my guess is there are likely more versions/years out there somewhere. The link below will take you to one of two original Lapize company posters in my collection:

Sorry, I have only have the one posted at the moment. The other is in a seemingly bottomless stack of images waiting to be uploaded to the site.
