As you can see, the cosmetics are unrestored original. It has the most interesting of the handlebar options, the ‘No 5 bis Cintre a potence’ with plunger front brake. There is no rear brake. Cycle production was an afterthought for the company, and did not start until 20 years after they established their automobile and then motor tricycle business. Having at last introduced bicycles in 1909, they do not seem to have updated the product range much throughout the years they were built, meaning that this c1900 style of handlebar with plunger brake was still being used in the 1920s.
