Was it custom spec to avoid the risk of cornering pedal strikes when riding fixed? Doesn't look especially racy overall in geometry terms.

Why is it always the same? The first Claud is too big for me and he's willing to post it, but the second one, which is my size, doesn't post?
Bummer.
That's always my problems..
Not custom geometry. It's a Vigorelli http://www.bobjacksoncycles.co.uk/product/vigorelli-track/ but with a custom fork crown, a bunch of extra braze-ons and higher spec tubing. It's one of the fastest handling bikes I've owned.

I like that retro-twin-bike, come to think of it, now that I know that my ticker and lungs aren't what they once were a tandem might not be a bad idea just as long as I end up steering it !

Think that may be a shop badge - it looks very like a Gitane to me with those Huret honeycomb dropouts...

If i remember rightly Gitane or somebody else used a similar style rear dropout
Sure @midlife will be along soon to correct me if needed
I really like the looks - rear end is fascinating.
Had a quick look and I think that "Granet Pellisier" may have been a bike shop? So frame made for them by someone else?
There is a Motobecane here with same decal:

I take it that your French is better than mine, because google translate comes up with some very interesting suggestions for the conversations
Buy it - you know you want to.

Its the same frame as the Gitane, by the looks of it - except its slightly nicer with the chroming on the seat & chain stays. It says Condition used, but to me it looks as new.
Very nice.
Very nice.
