Note the ahead stem, looking exactly like a contemporary stem. Dynamo actuated by discrete lever, battery pack for lighting located in handlebars.

fantastic. not only the artwork, but subjects, too.

Q: anyone know the reason behind shaping the front fender as in post #98, figure #9?

looks snazzy, but i didn't know if it's to represent something other than a little panache.

thanks

I imagine the ridge is so you can mount things on it, like lighting, racks, speedometers and have a little extra strength from the rib. Also the bolt and nut would not be protruding on the underside.

In my stash of old catalogues and brochures I have this publication from 1972. I'm presuming it is mainly a trade magazine and there are a lot of Rebour illustrations used in the text and adverts. I'll be posting a selection of them as there are to many to post at the same time. This is the cover and the first bit of editorial written by the man himself - along with a photo.





All those of a certain age take note of what he says..............................

And Milremo advert, a brand I thought was British but being advertised in France by Andre Bertin who was Ron Kitching's partner in the brand.;



Lots more pages to come!
