Camille Dardenne racing bike, Dardenne was one of the best makers of hand-built bicycles in France, this shows in the wonderful skill of the framebuilder, every lug is very finely filed down to a point like a Rene Herse or a Camille Daudon, there are many beautiful details on this bike, the fork top, the cut out head lugs stamped "C.Dardenne", the fishtail stay to rear dropout junction, etc etc. Good parts : Mafac brakes and levers, Campagnolo hubs, Philippe professionnel alloy bars, Ava stem, TA triple crankset, etc... The bike just needs derailleurs, a leather saddle, and careful cleaning to become a top class machine.
Frame size: 56 cm center to center
