Bugatti Vintage Bicycle 1926 9 kg drilled Never existed? Single Speed no fixie

Description

Hello,
Will update soon, bike is almost finished now,
I have excavated a set of period wheels, in excellent order with magic patina
Will be sold as a frame set plus wheels/ bars/ seat/ chain (no BB, no cranks, choice of bars)
please see 4 fresh pics at end, there are hammered-in signs (BB housing), but I am afraid I can not make anything of it :-)
The bike will be built up as a single speed with one rear rod brake and a classic vintage racer style bar
According to my research Bugatti never made bikes....
....a bike build, assuming it is 1926 and Ettore Bugatti has built a bike...
Classic pre WW style lugged frame with rear rod brake, all nicely patina-ed, hand painted distressed graphics
black frame in real old black paint, Bugatti blue fields with old french white sign writing, real leaf Gold on head tube
functioning well running and useable bike.
The bike will be single speed set up as the frame has horizontal drop outs
More a piece of functioning Art, if I may say so myself :-)
...25th of February 2021...
turns out, as pointed out by a helpful eBay'er, that Bugatti did indeed tinker with bicycles, engines for them, a supension seat, framedesign and registered some patents.
He also used one of his engines in a Peugeot bicycle.
I will study all the leads immediately and no doubt will the findings be incorporated in one way or another into my current and future builds (the pics towards the end of the auction are my first findings)

Hi. Yes. I will change the auction as well. Basically what I am doing here is building a tribute bike whilst making it as close as I can think it would have been in the time if Bugatti would have built a “normal bike” back in the day.
I then take that bike, leave the patina, and slightly adjust it so it can be used today. A bit like a “Resto Mod” I have been holding off, so I can adjust for a possible Customer build. I have meanwhile discovered that Bugatti actually has built some bikes and also attachment engines.
