The brand of Svelte bicycles was manufactured by the Société Manufacturière d'Armes et Cycles, founded by a man named Levy at the end of the 19th century in Saint-Etienne.
This brand will become in the 20s, the official supplier of folding bikes for the army, the Legion and the Republican Guard. Very beautiful piece.
