Strange European leaf-spring frame? What is it?

Brant - yes, the update was that I built it up out of parts I bought on french ebay at the same time, and then sold it.
As i reckoned it was a German bike with suspension, I did a whole piece on it entitled 'springtime for hitler'. But my wife said it was in bad tatste and could be misinterpreted, so i removed that part and just left the pics on -

So that's where all those French 'bouncy bits' ended up, Very nice!
I've posted this on the 'Vintage Lightweights ' page recently, people may not have noticed it. A friends unknown 20's/30's 'Vialle Freres' a-like......

Any ideas/knowledge /information gratefully received.
Thanks,
Darren.

Darren I sold a Vialle a few years ago. The info is easily found on the internet. Here's its page -

Thanks Colin,
I looked at your site re. this unknown bicycle when I was trying to find info for the owner and my friend who reassembled/ restored it.
Drew a blank completely, I think this is a little later than the Vialle examples I've seen, possibly an artisan made one-off. Although it's very well made.
Here's the thread:

Thanks again.
