From the ebay listing for this bike:
This is a very rare and beautiful, show winning lightweight cycle. 1936 Caminargent, Model Bordeaux-Paris, by Pierre Caminade. This 12 pound cycle is the lightest cycle ever produced, and is in 100% original condition. The silk cased tires were custom produced by Andre Dugast to the exact rim dimensions. Constructed entirely of polished aluminum (Duralumin), the cycle was a revolutionary design of it's time. The main tubes are octogonal/butted sections, filled with cork dampening inserts. The forks are of the same treatment. Rear triangle also of double butted extruded aluminum shapes. Beautiful high-tolerance cast lugs in an Art Nuoveau design predate investment cast designs by several decades. Stronglight 49D crankset, J. Moyne single speed freewheel, Atom hubs/Caminade rims. Caminade Bar/stem. Lam brakes/levers. Lyotard pedals/Lapize-Zefal clips/straps. Ad Hoc pump/clips. The frame measures 54 cm c-c. This exotic French cycle is quite rare and in exceptional, museum quality show condition, original in every detail.
