Yeah, seriously, please god... don't paint it. Vintage frames like that show the beauty of usage...

Sorry to bump an older thread;
I just picked up a similiar orange Velosolex and broke it down to rebuild it. Got any updates on your build?

I have to agree about the paint - don't mess with it!

When I'm rich I want a mid 80s pursuit track bike that is 100% Français. Mavic and LOOK to the hilt.
White LOOK sloping steel track frame, stem, seatpost and pedals, Mavic cxp22 rims, track hubs, cranks, bb, chain, bullhorns and aerobars. Idéale saddle.
Mais oui...
