Well if you don't know, nobody will. ::) ::) ::)

You live in a country that speaks both languages, you're decended from English stock and have a Fench surname. :o

Stop pulling our plonkers Rio..... it's....Vill-i-ers ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 ;D ;D  Thanks Sam but that sounds mangled. There was family in my hometown with the surname Villier, they pronounced it va-leer

That single villYAYY, in the second pic...frame looks a bit like an Enfield Flying Flea or maybe a Famous James.

 I got both them frames with pressed tin girders, would like to put Honda singles in them for pit bikes..
