construit par DARDENNE

[26er]

Got this one couple weeks ago. Not sure what it's been used for or how fast it will be with a pair of wheels on. If anyone knows anything about this brand or model please don't hesitate to share. Not sure if I should hang it on my garage wall or take it out for a PBTT.

Suggestions welcome.

Salut mon ami! Top find.

Some searching found this thread on a French vintage forum interesting:

Worth a google translate and some great pictures. A small but very refined father & son frame builder from Cachan
in the Paris region. Operated into the 90s. Sponsored some riders and clubs. On page 4 there is mention of CVS
"Cholet Vélo Sport". So, at a guess this was a unique custom build for one of the club star racers.

Probably safe to say it is original and the quality right up there with some of the best.

C'est une velo fabriqué par Camille Dardenne, un artisan parisien réputé pour faire du beau.
