To me, the important thing is that the frame so truly represents the French conception of a racing bicycle of that period. That is, it's cleanly built but very plain. There are eyelets for mud guards to be used on foul weather training rides. The only special brazed-on fitting is that circular guide at the bottom of the stay for the rear derailleur cable housing.

It's a business like tool for fast riding that "says" more to me than most of the fancier looking frames of that period. But it's way too large for me...
