Pierre Caminade built featherweight aluminum-magnesium frames and the quick-release Rectiligne derailleur decades before "wonderbikes" claimed the same ideas as new. Our Caminade resource collection traces the Caminargent line from its 1934 debut.

Contribution Guidelines:

  • Featherweight Builds: Post photos of sub-13-lb Caminargent frames and their duralumin fittings.

  • The Rectiligne Derailleur: Help us document surviving examples of Caminade's own derailleur design.

  • Model Range: Discuss the Dandy city model or other Caminargent variants.

    Easy opener: Have you ever handled an original Caminargent, and how light did it feel?
