Au Salon du Cycle, la devise de Camille DAUDON
était plus que jamais : Perfection !

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. As every year at the Salon, the Paris constructor Camille Daudon showed his range of 1950 models on his stand. The machines, almost entirely equipped with accessories of his own make (stems, lighting, derailleurs, carriers, bolts and so on) and finished to the smallest detail, drew much admiration, above all the « Cyclosportif », called the finest bicycle of the Salon. It was also judged the strongest, since the same machines carried the Daudon team in the Tour Cyclotouriste, where its 5 riders all placed in the top 12 overall and won the team challenge without the slightest mechanical trouble. The « Rural » model, aimed at country agents, was designed for the countryside: with no cables, wires or bolts and with special wheels, it can be used in any weather on any surface, needs almost no maintenance and is practically indestructible. The « Ville » type, for men or women, is meant for riding in any dress, even a dinner jacket, and is safe, stable and efficient. The « Compétition » model is the same as those Camille Daudon builds for the greatest road champions who call on his skill. The « Grand Tourisme » shows his concern for comfort, complete safety and faultless finish; it is the bicycle that earned Camille Daudon his established name as the « Grand Couturier du Cycle ». Two further models complete the series: the « Cyclo-Campeur » with a triangulated frame, very stable under a maximum load, and the « 12 C » half-racing type, which converts at once from a sturdy utility machine into a lively sports machine and is meant for young riders of limited means. For motorization Camille Daudon stays with the « Cycle » formula, adopting the « Kid », a small well-sealed unit driving the front wheel that keeps the bicycle light, handy and safe. The piece ends by wishing this master craftsman many visitors at his shop, 28, rue Bayard, Paris (8e).]
