I haven't decided how I want to proceed with restoring this bike. It's best to leave it original for now. Looking for a replacement head badge. 2017 12-18 Found my headbadge. I have kept this bike as original as possible, replacing a few corroded hardware pieces and brake cables. This is one amazing old bike.

Shockingly modern for 1909, truly amazing. Even in the original condition, it didn't look too bad for a 109 year old bike. Do you know its history?

As far as I know, this bike stayed in France with the family of the original owner. When he passed, the bike went into storage. I found it on eBay. Everything except one tire appears to be original. I replaced the cables and grips. The 700A series tires have not been made for a
about 80 years so no replacements available. I have only ridden this bike around the block.
