For Bob Sirkus or any other indivudual interested in restoring an Automoto bike. I found a bicyle restoration company in Vista California called Cycle Art. They have the orignal art required to restore an Automoto on file and professionally redid my Automoto. It looks great!.

My parents bought me a 20″ Automoto model in 1955. I still have the picture of me proudly holding it up in front of the Christmas tree. Other kids in the Bronx NYC got Shwinns or Huffy’s but none could catch me on a long uphill climbs that make up the Bronx. Light durable and speedy it made me admire things French. It was one of the reasons I studied French in High School. I cared for the bike well and never forgot the name. One day I just tried a search and was shocked to see the green frame and red tires I had raced on appear on your website. Thanks for the connection..

I have also just come across an AutoMoto 3 speed, no wheels or seat.
Very light & graceful lines. Unfortunately seat stays detached
from frame due to rust. Any tips how to re-attach without brazing or weld. (shop wants $90 to look at it!)
Brake levers have plastic shrouds.

I found what i suspect to be an early 60′s automoto 3 speed in very good condition for its age. Having alot of trouble finding out info on bike. It’s the first time even ebay couldnt gimme an idea of value, all they have is a poster of it. If you find any helpful sites let me know please.

I have an Auto Moto bicycle from the early 1960′s. It was given to me by
a French professional bicyclist who stayed at our home in West Hartford,
CT. He was touring the US promoting the Tour de France
