Torevesse one of several marques issuing from the firm of Etablissements Verot-Perrin

it was launched by Monsieur Verot by spelling his last name backward and then affixing the -esse
suffix for "exoticness"

launch seems to have been immediate postwar

other V-P marques included Strong Light, Acier Diamante & Verot

here is an Acier Diamante marked chainset worn by a Riva-Sport product of MCMLIII



[cycle contract produced for a yank department store chain]

especially enjoy the Acier Diamante shooting star logo -

I'll ask if he wants to.
Surprisingly I've seen many Favorites and parts (some even NOS) for sale here in Finland. I have pictures of a 50s model with Huret derailleurs that was for sale recently.

No markings that I could see and I don't recal if the tube was seamed. The headset is Stronglight P3 as is on the DBS Super Sport.


You asked about the chainguard that was fitted on the Monark, it has no markings and suspect it's from a Tunturi Retki 6 from the 70s. Those came with three-arm/-bolt fauber crank.

I think the Monark will be done for now as I don't know how far I want to take the restoration. All the bolts are almost rounded off, the seatpost is crushed a pit (weird, 24mm size) and I need to find some acceptable M7's for the age. The bolt hole on the P-knuckle has worn so that there is significant play on the pulley cage. I need to take some material off of the lower knuckle bolt as there is a step after the thread that prevents the assembly to tighten all the way.

Production date unknown, but I would say prototype from the late 60s/early 70s. "Frame marked: "Monark", "Aviatin steel" also "Reynolds forks"". Source: https://digitaltmuseum.se/021027741730/cykel-del-av
