Re:

From memory, they did. "This bit" is for hanging the chain on when you remove the back wheel.
Pugs also had the 2 inches or so of chrome plate showing on the seat stays like the example in your pic.

Don't remember them in green though. Always loved the graphite ones

Re:

The frame was painted before , so no evidence of the chrome left
It's got me stumped

Re:

Hi, I just had a look at my Perthus pro. It is identical to yours except mine is original grey/chrome. Also has chain holder on rear stay. All other fittings are identical including double bottle cage mounts. The winner may be my serial number.

B71036665 is very close to yours..

Would the seat post diameter confirm?

What colour is the braze? 753 had to be silver as it was lower temperature...

Just rechecked the pics, looks silver brazed which points to 753....

Just had a look at the braze , its silver on the lugs , gear mounts
and gold at the top of the seat stays

That made interesting reading about the silver brazing

If memory serves you couldn't heat 753 above 650 degrees C so that meant silver solder had to be used which explains the silver fillet at the lugs etc.

Not sure why the seat stays are gold coloured at the junction?
