How to date this fine paint brochure? (update: 1904 Peugeot!)

Leo Schildkamp found this wonderful brochure form the dawn of motoring. An italina paint firm trying to get hold on this new market segment. Our guess is that they were active in the carriage painting busienss already before. The depicted colours are true samples glued in the brochure. Of course we knew there were many possible colours in that time as well, but still we are amazed by this fabulous richesse. Leo did some research and at least the name of the brand Ciclolux is still existing. Maybe we can help dating the brochure based on the motorbike. Our rough guess... 1902/03.

Strange to see a French motorcycle in an Italian catalogue. This model Peugeot, with painted tank, in-house motor with mechanically-operated inlet valve, and (optional) Truffault spring fork is likely the 2.75 h.p. model introduced in 1904. Advanced specification for the year.
