No but that’s a pretty serious bike for the era. Alloy cranks and tubular rims/wheels, high quality brakes. Too bad you didn’t take a photo of the **DRIVE SIDE.**
You should definitely have fun with those tubulars. I hope you’re good with glue.

I’ve got a late 50’s Follis Lyon that I inherited from a friend’s father. He upgraded the cranks and wheels in the 70’s. I’m still in the process of restoring it. I pretty much just have to glue up the tubulars and I am good to go. There is quite a bit of info on some of the vintage bike forums about these.

A famous French bicycle maker, I’d say this was a very lucky find.

Oh yeah, I loved mine and it was a single speed at the end and old to a college kid here in ABQ!
