Unfortunately I lost some links and can't find them again. There's very little to find related to the legal entity and history for producing Bebo, Bebolux, etc. All I know the head office factory was in Dijon (not too geographically far from Simplex), along with a proper a AL foundry, rather...

@Filochard One of the most fantastic posts ever here. I almost feel like doing selfish replies, but is not necessary. You listed via Rebour the menu a la carte from the 1950s for everyone to be aware of. Good luck and all the best wishes in your continued research. Bicycles and statues...

Ebay USA. The biggest historical archive of any old shit in existence. :wink: Except for French bike parts pre 1960. ;) Jesting a side. Always a great research tool.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/404271313720 ..... suffice to say, they are pointless and not worth dealing with IMHO. They never took off BITD, but a pristine example may gain retro points and earn you a top podium spot at the BotM ;)

In fact, the saving on shoes for a couple of years could buy an Hybrid velo.

On the bright side, out of the bell curve, they do pic up bargains when shoes are discounted. Try to find a 42, 43, 44 EUR size in the the sales ;)

Had these on a bike I bought and then flipped. Curious things. From memory the button is used to slightly splay out the brake pads to help wheel removal.

It's roulette. I had to offload a first Generation Giant TCR - with all the fame of Mike Burrows design, Once team introducing in the pro peloton with style and mopping up team trials etc. It was also in low miles in very very excellent condition. Reality check. It sold for basically the same...

Get your point. A pristine NOS example may be worthy for a future nerd collector. These will be just at the very best re-purposed for individual Urban transport in time, and will be very disposable at that with a care free rider who does his/her market research for best buy for the buck IMHO.

Yup. Discounted already -30% from new after season for owner. Discounted -30% when second owner buys it in 1 year. Discounted -30% when third owner potentially buys obsolete un-upgradable shit in year 3+ That leaves 10% left. Which equates to selling some used kitchen utensil on Ebay, or the...

Never.

Gnome et Rhone - 1942 https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/velos/3058056875 [ @sunympholepsy his your favourite girlfriend Laetitia in "Le Club du Pudding" already? :LOL: ]

Oh .. and great thread @SteelNipple - extremely interesting. 👍

While I will stand corrected, I believe that pictured headset is potentially a mish-mash. Parts from three headsets, Stronglight for the lock-nut, Torevess for the locking washer, and RFG(?) for the cups. Understandable too to replace worn bearing surfaces with something French and a low...

I have from good authority Eddy was indeed visiting Sweden in the this period and beyond. Bought a Litespeed from a chap who worked in a "larger" bike shop chain that originally had the frame in the shop given as a sample from Eddy. It was on display for decades and was eventually built up...

Hurry, hurry, hurry ... while Gravel Bike is not in the description. ;)

This may be better. It's now totally clear what it does and how to use it :LOL:

Instruction manual for said brakes.

Just like the ones with the Lidl angle grinder and cutting / grinding discs? Cutting / grinding discs gives recommended RPM, angle grinder goes from 1 - 8 with absolutely no look-up to RPM.

What "9" ? Its obvious the fridge is rigorously calibrated and certified between snow and a parasol. Will you be having that Classic Chicken tomorrow?
