What a beauty.

The quick release rack and rear wheel are nice. Some motorcycles use the same method of rear wheel removal.

I had seen that before, probably on this thread?

Good evening,

Let me introduce you to this touring bike that I found by chance at the back of a workshop in a sorry state in September 2018. I wanted to save as many of its parts as possible and give the frame a thorough clean without rubbing too hard to avoid damaging the original paintwork. Thank you Stan for finding me the spare parts. I took a few shots... Enjoy!
Huret Allvit rear derailleur. You can see the assembly and mounting bracket in one of the photos posted. 1953.
