It’s been hard for me to find information on this bike, but La Mondiale was a Belgium manufacturer that sold bikes between 1924 and 1933 and built their motorcycles around the engines of other manufacturers.

This specific La Mondiale uses a J.A.P engine that “probably” displaces 497cc, according to the seller. Here’s the catch – the seller hasn’t seen the engine run, “but it appears most pieces are in place”. Assume this bike will need some work, but it’s rare enough to be worth it.
