She too fast for most. Curious tyres for the time. Shows up one of the major defects of moderns; the very inadequate mudguard coverage. And from side swiped parked cars I observe in my bicycling forays, the wheels did not get wrenched  out of alignment in every minor encounter.

The tyres look like period Michelin's, or the artists impression of them.
