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?
