Would a Lambert be considered a constructeur bicycle? It had proprietary pedals, handlebar, stem, brakes, cranks, derailleurs, hubs, and bottom bracket, so it does fit Jan Heine's definition that "a constructeur actually builds the entire bike, including proprietary components and others that are modified for the purpose."

Are Lambert components worth anything today on eBay? Any Lambert collectors out there?
