LION RAPIDE engine without skeleton
Dear Friends!
I have an old friend who is dealing with collection and reconstruction of old motorcycles. Now he has got an engine block and supposes it must be the block of a LION RAPIDE or LION ROUGE produced in Belgium in period around 1930 but he is not sure. Attached: some photos of the engine. Could you please help us to identify the engine and the skeleton that belonged to the engine originally? The next question is if such a skeleton without engine could be bought anywhere or there is any other way to unify the engine with the proper skeleton.
Best regards,
Szilveszter Póczik
