Farve late 1867

Hello all

Fun posting of old bikes ... old is a relative term ..

Discounting the original Lallement machines in Paris 1863, Oliviers 64/65 ( made by Michaux) , Raddison 65, Lallement again in 65/66 ...the first known ads for a velocipede/ bicycle appear in May 1867 , south of France by the maker Cadot .... a wood framed machine. With use, wood, would wear badly and possibly fail in front forks and head. November 1867 Farve begins production of a metal frame version of the diagonal frame velocipede, sales were brisk!
He published the first book about riding in January 1868 .

This is my oldest machine Farve #92 November or December 1867

If anyone runs across a wood frame Cadot ...I'd be very interested ..or any machine with Lallement DNA on it.

Cheers Carey

Hi Tom - I've been waiting to see this bike since you told me about it at Copake some time ago. Love it! Have you been back to Mad Dog in Delmar lately? I have another project to bug him with! Cheers, David from Castleton
 
All my bikes are from 1932-42.
A narrow focus yes, but it's what I like and I don't come across much earlier in these parts.
