Hi, been a while since I posted been to spain where I saw a very nice late 70's? Alan bonded aluminium framed bike , the guy spoke no English but from my schoolby Spanish I believe he rode it often ...i have a cxouple of photo's but due to being taken on camera/phone the quality is not so good. anyway my l ate 1940's? Mecadural also alloy framed has been causing some concern....when I bought it (for not a lot of pennies) I believed it was pretty original now I am not so sure ...has anyone got any info on this maker I believe they manufactured under several names and i believe the started production in around 1948? my bike is pictured on the Caminade page on Blackbirds site there are two other very similar frames also pictured ...mine is the complete (less chainguard) machine... any help greatly appreciated
