DESCRIPTION

The Hirondelle Rétro-Directe appeared in the Manufrance catalog in 1903 until the end of the 1930s.

 


This system allows the cyclist to have two speeds: one when pedaling normally, the other when pedaling backwards.

Ingenious idea developed by Manufrance.


This model is in an exceptional state of conservation.

 

Everything is marked Manufrance Hirondelle: saddle, crankset, brakes, hubs and lamp!


650B wheels with vintage white tyres.
