Very advanced design for the period, check out the two gear levers, heel and toe change plus hand change lever as back up. The front number plate still has the original French registration on it which needs covering up. Very speccie bike for its day as most French utilitarian small CC bikes were basic two strokes. This is a unit construction four stroke. You see an auction estimate for one at over ten thousand dollars in link number two. Extraordinarily rare even in France. 07718 593259. I can arrange delivery to your door for \u00a3 140 by courier. First come first serve, strictly no Paypal or credit card payments, and no tyre kicking excitement either. This is a rare four stroke girder bike priced at less than a Bantam. It is fairly priced and that is the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a 1952 La Francaise Diamant 125cc overhead valve single four stroke.
