• The Caminargent in the pic. appears to have cotterless cranks.

    I understand that Caminargent owners today regard their bikes as too fragile to ride on anything but the smoothest surfaces. They are certainly very elegant, but I don't think I'd want to bother with a bike I dare not ride.

  • Yup. Stronglight 49d by the looks.

    The Hobbs Lytaloy cottered alloy cranks were prone to break too apparently.

    Were BSA the first to use that 5 bolt pattern? What BCD is it?

    (Edit, just googled; same as Stronglight/TA etc.)
