The forks / suspension are spot on in your link to the 1905 Peugot.

But its not the same bike - the Peugot pictured has supplementary pedal chain drive on the right (pity it has no other pics of the bike 's rhs), and with the other differences etc, its probably not a Peugot engine in Wiggy's pic.

Could this be an early J.A.P. engine ?

Apparently they did supply engines to other bike makers.

This site mite be able to help.

Maybe - maybe - I don't know!!    It isn't the same, I know that much, but after that.

I am fascinated in the amount of interest this has drummed up!   Thanks for all your ideas folks.  Wish I could help - but that's why I put it up - for your assistance!   ;)
