Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe

Good to read you were able to get it sorted.
Have been in agreement right along.
As you probably learned from your researches the Super Corsa model was something created for the North American market and was current ~1968-73.
The parallel domestic model was termed the Olympic. There was also something called the Super Olympic.
One idea I had was to check the francophone fora.
Unfortunately each example found had the "notched" treatment of the taper tube ends rather than the "chisel" exhibited by your frameset.

Owned a bespoke built Urago whose constructeur was a builder by the name of "Brookie" (Brouquis? - have only heard his name and not seen it written). It was quite something. In about 1970 Nantes was able to lure him away from Nice with better compensation where he worked to construct the true MICMO team cycles.
He was likely building Roma machines right about the time yours was done.

Keep in mind that while you are satisfied your frameset is a MICMO product it may have been otherwise badged because of the other marques the company owns.
