Must have fun to climb Le Tourmalet on that single speed bike.

I would question the claim of this bike actually being used on the tour without some (a lot) of provenance. My main concern is that gears were allowed in '37 and I would assume by '38 most riders used some sort of gear to compete. A nice bike regardless. V/r Shawn

Shouldn't a race bike from the late 1930s have a flipflop hub with two cogs?
