Let me be more specific, I'm talking about the BRAND of bike not so much the fact that it is a 10 speed...
If my memory serves me right, the Jacques Anquetil brand was sold by mail-order, probably Cyclo-Pedia, in the late 60s and early 70s. The Huret Allvit rear derailleur puts it right in this time period. The Allvit didn't shift as well a the Simplex Prestige, but it didn't break when you fell on it (it bent instead). The geometry, steel cottered cranks, stamped dropouts, cover plate over the fork crown, and Mafac Racer brakes suggest that the model you have is a "campus tourer," comparable to a Raleigh Record or Peugeot UO-8 of that period. These were made of chromoly steel, with seamless main tubes and seamed where you might not notice--usually the fork blades and steerer.
The top of the Anquetil line was comparable to the Peugot PX-10. By the early 70s demand for Peugeots was raising the price, so you could order one of these for a bit less.
