This auction ended recently on eBay.

http://ebay.com/<blah>

ebay item # 150195478099

Perhaps someone on CR List has picked up this $280 bargain?

I have not discovered anything about the bike, and would love to hear any information about the maker.

Photos are still up on the ebay auction - some clear and some are just fuzz. Appears to have a smattering of late 50s through 1960s parts, nothing very impressive ... but interesting. Check out the chromed steel stem with ultra-wide clamp and double clamp bolts... must be a two piece alloy drop handlebar ???

But, most interesting is the Reynolds 531 butted main tubes and Reynolds HM SR fork blades, and Nervex bottom bracket which is British dimensioned - NOT French metric! ... So... perhaps a Belgian bike?

I actually like the colors and decals and the lugs, and would have bid something had it been a larger size.

Surely someone on the List has heard something about these bikes?

I'm stumped.
