1940's Le Chemineau Touring Bike on Ebay

I have put one of my Le Chemineau touring bikes on Ebay as it is way too small for me and I need the money for something similar in my size. I hope it gets a good home.

I bought this used (very) in the 80's from a shop that was going out of business. I don't remember what it cost, but it was cheap. I couldn't afford a new one, either.
