In the flesh, the four tube frame looks rather daft. You look at it and wonder what was in the great man's head. If it does have mojo, then the other Bugatti bicycle that is currently in the Bugatti Trust museum at Prescott has anti-mojo. It has a very small front wheel, a short wheelbase and an almost rectangular frame layout. Forget that word...what does mojo mean anyway?.. and remember the other vague description often given to Bugattis... Presence. Not much presence in his cycle designs. Now a thirty cc twin overhead cam Roots blown cycle motor, that does have presence. Go and see it at Prescott. Stuart (my modern car was overtaken by two Bugattis last weekend in Sussex)Tallack
