Haha. Thanks for the insight. We've discussed this before. But,Manufrance and most of the other French shotguns makers in Saint-Etienne made bicycles after 1890 during the off season. One supposes tubing, welding and machinery and demand was behind this. By the way a lot of them also produced sewing machines and other industrial items.
