Comments:

Cazenave is an old French manufacturer that started with sewing machines. After the war they moved into bikes and mopeds.

The original husband and wife owners went to the French Virgin Islands and had so much fun tooling around on Cazenave mopeds that when they came back they imported a pair. They never used them and friend, Roland Henry, bought the pair of them. He sold me one and kept the other.

This was one of my first paint/chrome restore projects and was where the polish techniques were developed. Chloe and I tore this down to the bolts and cleaned and polished every piece.
