Also, the dive side fork blade appears to be missing above the caliper pad.

Finally, has the unique Cino bi-axial front hub but with two demi-axles and flanges that are eccentric to each other.

Forgive me. I was looking at her calves and the turkey levers.

Maybe it's a little goofed, but it does look like the left brake lever is routed to the front cable hanger. I am assuming this is a step through frame with stem shifters, and the rear brake cable is routed down the slanted top/down tube. I've seen worse ... on real bikes.

Vive la France!

Saw this film recently about Virginia Hall. Not bad.

Not sure whose left you are referring to, the rider's or the viewer's? Regardless, I'm not seeing any cable hanger. There does appear to be a yoke but without any brake or yoke cable attached. I could put that down to artistic license but when the time was taken to depict the spokes, it's incongruous.

Sorry, I meant the left lever on the bike, that doesn't (shouldn't) change regardless of perspective. The one usually assigned to the front brake on American bikes.
