No. I was replacing the chainring guard and decided to do a little
cleaning of the chainrings. As I was doing so, a small engraved emblem
appeared. I had assumed that the cottered crankset was the usual Nervar as
that was standard equipment for Peugeot at the time. Instead, it was a Cyclo,
and not the usual riveted together one but instead the nine-bolt design.
Not much is known about Cyclo. It seems to have been a consortium of
small manufacturers in Britain, France, and perhaps the Benelux countries. I
have other parts made by them, and I really like their unigue freewheel design.
I recently acquired one of their sliding rod front derailleurs.
