Single sided swinging arm that doubles as the exhaust pipe.
And with monoshock suspension.
All in 1948!

All so they could keep the brake lever fulcrum lubricated with two stroke!

Funny how times have changed though. Here we see a brown bike with a black saddle - How very refreshing.

But seriously they were very advanced design. Single sided suspension front & rear & monoshock.

It was designed to save materials, one sold on Ebay near me in Botley, Hampshire a couple or so years ago.
