Arnold Grandjean, born in 1890 as son of a clockmaker, was a very talented bicycle racer.
He became a professional racer in 1912 and soon started producing his own bicycles under the “Allegro”name in Neufchatel, Switzerland. From 1923 on the firm also produced motorcycles.
From the start this was very successful: many races were won with the ligt and agile twostrokes.
