Just came across an interesting thread on a BikeForums discussion group. The bike appears to be in original and beautiful condition, from 1977. The Belgian owner posted 4 photos of this bike which he had only recently bought. Belgian made with full d/b 531 tubing. Here is the link:

I've never heard of the marque, but we really encounter very few Benelux bikes in the US. This one looks like a winner. I wonder if that was typical of the brand, at least during that era?
