1910 Labor "Tour De France" Bicycle

[Dweber]

Been reading about this Labor bicycle. Quite amazing! No problem changing tires on the run. Has anyone ever seen one of these"1910 Tour De France" bicycles? Would love one for my collection. Wonder how many years this model was made?

There’s a small write up about Labor in “The Competition Bicycle “ by Jan Heine. Not much is explained though.

Velo dream is selling a catalogue here in the for sale section. If you want one or to learn more then you should consider buying that from him.

Cannondale still copies this front fork design

John "Happy Jack" Keen used the bayonet fork on his 1878 - 80 "Eclipse" racing Ordinary .

There's a nice one over in Europe on display in a museum. It's on the Sterba site for museums. Here's some pics of it:

Enjoy

I guess you consider this a early road bike built for the Tour De France. Love the dual water bottle carrier.

that bicycle is awesome
I rarely like the design of European 1900-1920 bicycles, but this one is definitely an exception!
very curious to know how effective the braking power is on that rear single arm brake!
