And best of all, resulted in seeing Bridgette Bardot on a bicycle in a body suit and knee high boots. Yum. Now I want a solex for some reason...

You know ...?
... I always felt that those front caliper brakes should be mounted behind the forks ! ..
...... but that is the first time i have actually seen it done !

But a Solex ? ...on a trike ! ?

You know I've been looking at the photo for hours and can't see any front brakes or forks!
