These images show my 1937 Cycles Luma. It was built in the town of Gosselies. After initial research, it is believed to be a town on the French / Belgian border.

I just love the shape of the bars!

Hi Robert. The only info I have on it is as follows:

I bought it from a V-CC colleague in 2012. He had bought it from another V-CC friend living in Northampton (called Roger). Roger apparently imported it into England during the 1950s.. I think Roger was a racing cyclist, & travelled all over the world.

That's all I know.

Regards, Rob

Thanks Rob for your reply.
It is good to know as much as possible so that is great.
I now have to attempt to reassemble it..... am really looking forward to riding it when I can.

Nice I've just bought a very similar set of handlebars for my Raleigh 3spd project.
