Speaking of Bernard Carré bikes: late '70s "Type Competition" (per head badge); Super Vitus 971 frame.
I do not think it is a racing frame for its era due to ~43cm chainstays which would be fairly long for any racing geometry. Notice rear wheel space even with hub about as far forward as it can in the d-o's; plenty of room for fenders. I think it is a randonneur/audax frame myself. Owner believes it to be a club racer. You tell me.

Looks to be a fairly typical Clubman's bike. Quite tight but with room for mudguards, winter trainer. Not a race frame.

Great bike, seller not so much. I'd never deal with him again even if I was desperate for whatever he was selling.
