Cruisin' on my Bluebird
The geometry and fork trail looks French to me
Note how much steeper the head angle is than the seat angle.
It matches the geometry of this Lygie, but the lugs are very different.

cycle a Torpado brand as manufactured by the firm Torresini
Torresini was acquired by Agrati-Garelli about 1983
American readers will be familiar with Torresini products via the ItalVega marque
lug pattern is Agrati "BRIANZA" ART. 000.8030/U
upper head lug is N. 000.8034
lower head lug is N. 000.8033
seat lug is N. 022.8039
fork crown is N. 000.8038
bottom bracket shell also "BRIANZA" pattern but do not have the stock number
headset and chainset Way-Assauto
mismatched wheels, front clearly not original
Ambrosio Champion stem/bar set
saddle appears to be a NITOR
possible that pedals may be UCCO brand from Torino, not the usual Sheffields seen on Torresini products of the era
serials on these are typically on drive side of seat tube just below seat lug
they are preceded by a triangular symbol with a letter T in the centre
date: 1961-1963
---
headplate note:
"usually" Torpado cycles of this era exhibit a large plate with a map of the world in background and a horizontal fastener arrangement as here -
since the fastener arrangement on the subject machine is vertical rather than horizontal it made me wonder if it may have been a contract build sold under another name...
then found that there were indeed vertical fastener headplates at this era -
here is the frame to which it was affixed -
btw -
on this particular frame the serial is struck on the non-drive side rather than the more common drive side location -

addendum -
found pedals
the dustcover design made me think Atom but had not seen this model previously
turns out they are indeed Atom but have not as yet located a model name/number for them:
the Atom name is stamped into the barrel
seller of this set dates them as hailing from the 1945-55 period
since a French product they may well be replacements...
one simple check which could be made in this regard would be to determine thread; if metric that would clinch a replacement
appear to be close cousins to a set shown at VB termed the De Luxe -
