Thanks for the nice Rebour drawings. I received a photo of a complete built up version of a similar bike from the seller. Quite a wild ride. I did some online searching on this marquee and came up with nothing. Anyone found some reference material on this? Thanks for the Image posted here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46645062@N02/

Many thanks to Tom Hayes for pointing out that auction page (...I missed that one).

I've just transferred enlarged images from the auction page including a cleaned up version of the advert included there. Also included in this group are two enlarged illustrations by Daniel Rebour taken from The Data Book - each dated 1947. These better show how the suspension elements were integrated along with brakes and fenders mounted on a built up bike.

I thought the following bike interesting. I wonder if someone on the list is the winner. Have any members had experience riding something similar or perhaps even this one. It's listed as French Constructeur OFAA.
