Unknown bike
« on: January 15, 2015, 05:45:07 PM »
Hallo there, here is a postcard I came into possession which have no details about the bike, I searched through books but didn't find nothing similar, does anybody have any clue about it? It's really puzzling me, thanks!  :P

Think of it as two parallel twins, with their cranks geared together. You can see the locations of the two crankshafts from the circular covers in your photo. The four cylinders are in a single casting, arranged in a square, thus the name. Handsome bike.

Indeed 1932,as it has the widely splayed front downtubes of the sloper single frame for that year.Regards John.
