Nick, PLEASE don't do anything drastic to this bike. The paint looks wonderful as is. As mentioned, it's only original once. You may want to email
Alexander March or Norris Lockley.

"Arliguie cycles were made until the late 50sin the small town of
Montargis, about 45 minutes due south of Paris.on the Autoroute du
Soleil...the proprietor was R Arliguie. I have not been able to find out
much about the size of the company or whether it was a regional
manufacturer of the same type as Helyett, whose factory were only about 30
kms further south at Sully- sur -Loire. My own opinion is that Arliguie
was more of a racing cycle specialist..but that is only because I have
never found any other type of Arliguies, and I have visited Montargis often."
