Early 50s La Gazelle - Eau-de-Nil 🛠️ The Merlot Aftermath 🍷

A mid 1950s bike for me. A French Audax bike maybe? Brakes are quite short reach, looks to be 700c. I could be wrong and am often :rolleyes:

Came back from the charity store empty handed this time. There were some suitable large flange hubs made by Manufrance, and what I think could have been a suitable freewheel on a ladies more modern looking low-end Gitane. Rims were totally rusted, so bailed out.

Appreciate the input guys to the date / time period. Seems there is a consensus of 1950s for the moment.

I'll sort out some more pictures of other bits which could help. I'm completely out of familiar territory here.
