trick bike - you'll never be able to find tubies for it (except contacting Dugas for custom), but would sure built into a nice single-speed for someone.

thanks for sharing this most excellent find!

RGF stands for Raccords Gargatte Freres, but then you probably knew that already.

are you able to make out the word on the dropout? think i can see the letters _OWER_.

the D/S rear hub is a fine item.

bicycle clearly too early for a 1974 date; 1961 is a plausible date.

would expect length of the Magistroni crank arms to be 150mm.

pedals appear they could be either Sheffield or Way-Assauto. are you able to read the markings on the plates? Sheffields typically have three digit model numbers beginning with six.

are you able to read the marking on the handlebar stem?

can you make out any surviving words on the yellow seat tube transfer?

the world racing stripes transfer appears to be the Schwinn version.

juvenile race bikes are oftimes rather rude affairs, this is certainly a very fine one!

ps - very good job with the pictures.

Does the bottom bracket have French threads?

 

[djpubba]

I haven't taken the cranks or bottom bracket off to check threads.

The pedals are KKT (Japan).

I took the back wheel off to get a better look. Something very interesting is stamped on the inside left rear dropout.

Thank you for the additional information.

GUID is a french brand of stem and bar stock which continued in operation at least to ~1980. Often encountered on Gitane and Jeunet products.
