The Conseil
Général of the Hauts de Seine and the Teuf-teuf
club organized the Rallye des
Ancêtres (Ancestors Rally). After 2001 the manifestation is moved near Compiègne. Each year at the beginning of
October, the principle is to gather and ride with cars and cycles
built before 1906. The start was in Chaville and the arrival to the
stud farms from Jardy, with various halts and exposures. |

Like
this Hirondelle bicycle, model Superbe, which has the right name. On
the right, the same one which is extract of the 1893 catalogue of the
Manufacture Française de Armes et Cycles of Saint-Etienne.
This bicycle who seems so light ce weighs 19 kilos and has only one
gear of 4m50.

This 1904
Peugeot race bicycle is quiet similar to my referred models V28 and V33
(frame, fixed gearwheels, pedals...) without the racing handlebar. |
