Subject: [CR]what with the few french aluminum bikes popping up on ebay of late...

ive decided to start work on a sub-page of the caminade/caminargent page devoted to displaying examples of other period french (and other nationality) aluminum frames of the same period (30s-50s) and possibly even passing examples of earlier bicycles and non-lightweight stuff...

soooo... if youve got a period aluminum frame, id love to get pics and details and all that... ive already got the barra/garin that rhclassics had up a little bit ago, and the 2 aviac bikes that have been through ebay recently...

i figure itll be a useful comparison resource, and a nod to the other makers out there at the same time who get eclipsed by caminargent sometimes cause theyre just not as blasted purty.
