Caminade Carminargent - 1st time I've seen one of these

Met up with the Lightweight Lovers group for a ride and a drink yesterday. We met up in a very good coffee shop in Nihonbashi, the standard 'centre of Tokyo' that distances from Tokyo on motorway signboards are measured from. To get there from where we live means passing the Imperial Palace, always an impressive sight.

We sat around drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and looking through a magazine that one of our number had contributed an article and photos of his collection of English cycles from the 30s to 60s to. Another of our number had come on his Caminade - what an extraordinary machine:
