Dirt Disciple
The French are good at quirky transport - think Citroen 2CV. Pierre Caminade came up with a great bicycling example seen here - a Nice-Evian randonneur.
The tubing is octagonal so cannot rotate within the "lug" castings in which they are retained by dozens of individual bolts. In theory the entire bike could be disassembled and rebuilt at will.
Two things are surprising: Surprising that for aluminium it is a very comfortable ride.
Surprising that for aluminium it is very heavy, although of course advertising
would have you think otherwise.
Definitely quirky bike of the month. ( now no longer owned )
