Thanks so much for posting, looks very nice!

Question for the experts -

I recall them as coming with QR hubs, am I mistaken?

Original handlebar stem would have been a Centrix of France. The one on the bicycle looks like a GB.

The smooth pedal dustcap on the Atom 440's did not launch until 1972.

Paint and transfers in wonderful condition!

I've seen these with a couple different stems from the factory, but I agree the stem and bars look a little off. The brake levers appear to be yellow dot as well which are not what was orig. Beautiful bike though! I've always had an affinity for these models.

The Continental didn't get quick-release hubs until '63.

Very nice. Here's a few shots of my one owner '64 Continental I just started re-habbing.
