It would be so much nicer without the silly wide back tyre imho.

Each to his own, as they say.

A work of art indeed and well engineered by the looks of it but as said, the fat wheel is at odds with the theme of the bike
and spoils the look.

Anyone know about Metis ? Or does it not mean anything ?
Must be a few quid there.

Couldn't spell "Metisse" ?? ( I know it should have an accent over the 1st 'e' but I've never worked out how to do that)

Agree. Delete the oversize reat tyre and add a fender to the front.

Misspelled Motus?

Wish i had asked the guy for some more info on it.
I didn't think the rear tyre looked out of place.

Compare it to a proper 1920’s bike and you can see how the mix of styles looks weird.

Metis is the name given to Anglo French settlers who married native women becoming part of the indigenous population...in North America / Canada...

Perhaps it was built in France using NA parts.....






Metis was also a mythical Greek figure... representing wisdom.....




All from a quick google.........

Prefer the one I saw. But old bikes don't do it for me anyway.

 

[Combine man]

Number plate best part about it!
