Hi,
The alloy frame is called a Caminargent. Made in France in the '30s. In racing fettle it weighed in at about 6 kilo. It was supplied in a box and you had to assemble it yourself using allen keys (I think). The tubes were hexagonal and the lugs formed the joins. It was very fragile and most of them broke. A Caminargent is one of the scarcest and most collectable of all 'unorthodox frames'.
MEGABUCKS to buy, if you can find one.
