I bought the frame in Paris last summer and it seems to have a complicated history: after being used quite a while, the owner had it modified (cable-guides were brazed onto the top tube) and then kept it in some place for years, where it got (not too badly) rusted. Somehow it landed in Alain Michel's workshop (another Parisian framemaker?), where it was bought (with a dozen of unbuilt steel frames from the 80s) by a vintage bicycle shop. That's when I found it. Do you have any further information about Bernard Carré? A number of Lejeune track bicycles seem to be Carré's work too. Best, Nicolas.
