- bicycle constructor Jacques Schulz was a master innovator
- his frame was promoted in 1937 cycling magazines as a 'compliant frame'
- the thin tubes of the rear stays are in striking contrast to the heavyweight tubes supporting bike
- the rear wheel's derailleur with sprockets of up to 40-teeth allowing to climb easily
- the front brake with modern side-pull system is as innovative as effective

- 3 Schulz bicycles are still known to exist
- this Funiculo is the only rideable survivor
