The J. Lefol marque remains one of French cycling's quieter mysteries, known best for its durable aluminum fenders but with a documented history stretching back to the Paris Commune. Our Lefol resource collection traces the Le Martelé, Le Paon and Le Pratique fender lines.

Contribution Guidelines:

  • Fender Identification: Post photos of Le Martelé, Le Paon or Le Pratique fenders and their markings.

  • Component Range: Help us document Lefol's caliper and cantilever brakes, levers and chain guards.

  • The Mystery Man: Share any documentation you have turned up on Jacques François Lefol himself.

    Easy opener: Do you own a bike with original Lefol fenders, and what condition are they in?
