This rare velocipede is believed to have been supplied by Cie Parisienne (who carried on the Michaux business).
The wooden wheels supplied by Cie Parisienne are numbered, and have steel rims into which hard rubber was inserted, as per the Clement Ader patent.
It’s a superb older restoration in excellent all round condition. However, its original 156-year-old tyres are delicate. So I’ve removed them for safekeeping and the machine is currently having some new tyres fitted so it can be ridden.
