This is a handmade children’s bicycle from A. Sutter of Chatellerault, France. It features its original paint, curly lugs and a similarly sweeping dropped crossbar. It’s 100% rideable as it stands: brakes work, wheels turn — it starts and stops. Tyres and saddle are new, but this would come with the original white Michelin tyres and Verybest saddle. The bike has aluminium mudguards (with a natty period reflector to the rear), a chain guard and lovely bent wire rear rack. It’s essentially a mini version of the steel classics that Sutter turned out for decades.

Top of the frame sits at 56cm. Seat post and stem are free. There is obviously some surface rust and no little grease, but overall this little gem is an original as they come.

Any questions, please ask. Happy to work to get this to anyone who wants to enjoy it.
