Hello, I own an old pacer bike. I don't know what make it is and I'd like to know it. The frame looks to be from the years 20 but the motor is much older. The motor is a V twin with automatic inlet valves. Each cylinder is 120x120, total of 2700cc. It is marked 1906 and I think it is the correct date because I found a picture showing stayer Péguy on a bike fitted with the same motor on "La Vie au Grand Air" february 1907. I enclose pictures of my bike and that picture of Péguy.
Regards. Jean-Pierre Beaufays. Esneux. Belgium.

Even the greatest champions like Eddy Merckx have a need for speed training. Here in Mexico in 1972 before breaking the world hour record is he paced by his personal pacer Guillaume Michiels (Belgium)

Take also note that they made a small roller behind the pacing motor so that he could not
touch the back wheel of the motor.
