Detailing the strip, clean, and reassembly of this bicycle. The bike is a BGA, which stands for Blanchard-Grange Armes. It was made in St Etienne in around 1935. The derailleur and brakes are ”Velectrik” which seems to be the house brand of Blanchard-Grange. The most interesting thing about the bike is the rear deralieur which is operated by a long leaver by the downtube, which in turn is linked to a rod which moves the derailleur CLICK ON THE PHOTOS IN EACH POST TO SEE THEM FULL SIZE.
