What the hell is that?

[dan66]

I found this bike for sale.
The seller brought it from Germany as a French product. First half of the nineties. The bike did not fly for 18 years...
Roller brakes (Sachs), special gearing (tell me...) and unique lefty/righty concept of the frameset. Unbelievable varnish.
Bike is in great shape. Just break up, clean up. I would not change anything. Saddle and grips, maybe...

Does anyone know what it is?

It's a Laïti.

Nice paint!

Re:

Laiti Mono.

There was one on here a while back. Wouldn't be surprised if Al bought it

Cool looking thing, could be quite tricky to get it up & running though (drum/ roller brakes etc).

Thanks for your directions! I can not miss this.
Luckily, I do not want so many wives, like bikes...

Roller brake service is fine. There are a lot of experienced mechanics and engineers in the Czech Republic . Fortunately...
