Thank you very much for your appreciation. In France, we can regret that the notoriety of the great Parisian craftsmen leaves little room for talented regional builders like Jean Thirouard whose quality of work is not recognized at its fair value.

I don’t think Peugeot has ever used Durifort tubes. The tubes were manufactured in its factories (light and extra-light) except for high-end models (hikers or race) built with Vitus until 1957 then Reynolds appeared in the 1959 catalog. This one is probably a "touriste léger" PC40 of 1952...

Re: It might be Guy Frullani renowned for his patented wheels now built by Time. He was also a top end frame builder with a small production.
