Caminade Caminargent city bike

I love the look and idea of the Carinargent(Introduced around 1934-35 in France). It has octagonal tubing that are held together by lugs that clamp with bolts. So the frame can be completely disassembled. It is aluminum and with some time and delicate love, it can be polished to a beautiful shine. I have never seen the octagonal tube rack before. If it was my size I would have not posted a link to the auction until it was over. . . and my bike!

This particular bike is on ebay and here is the seller's(RhClassics) description-
(ebay item-360548761084)

"54 cm middle of BB to center of seat tube.
 650B wheels. 3449/ 4-50, so April of 1950. 
Very nice example of a fully original cyclotouring Caminade, with all its original parts, never restored or polished up. 
There has been a tendency over the past to turn all Caminade into race bikes, or to build up a bike from a frame in a non-authentic fashion. 
This bike is the real thing, as it left the Caminade factory. It has all the nice cyclotouring options and parts : fantastic octagonal tubing rear carrier, original internal cables and wires, original red paint detailing of the lugs, original Caminade frame bolts, Lefol Le Paon mudguards and correct matching Luxor lights, rare alloy Roto-Phare dynamo, Stronglight cranks with red paint matching the frame, Lefol chain guard, fine alloy rims and hubs, Caminargent stem, alloy bars, Lam brakes and levers, fine long Frank Nelson saddle, octagonal pump peg. The back derailleur is missing, it would have been a standard Super-Champion to match the lever that is still there on the top tube. Not a problem to source this one missing part. Condition of the frame is good, it will polish up beautifully"

Beautiful french bike used as display on PBP

When I arrived at one of the last controls on Paris-Brest-Paris this year, I was shocked to see this beautiful french bike tied to a barrier as a decoration. Sure, I have seen other bikes placed throughout the route(towns are judged on their display and support of PBP), but this seemed different. This was a 1950s French blue ladies bike with Lefol fenders, dual Luxor le Paen 65 headlight, 650b wheels. I want that bike. For an instant, I thought about how I might get that bike, but that was a sleepless PBP thought. It is similar to our LaPeyle we have, seen below in an artsy Iphone picture.
Here is a video that our bike was used in, of my friend's band, Sun Airway, and directed by my friend Ricardo of Klip Collective.
