I live for the CABE
Here is one you don't see everyday
This particular model, which bears his name, does little to honor the incredible racing Frenchman, Victor Fontan. His circa 1920's career was based only in France where he was sponsored by the Elvish Bicycle Company...how cool is that?
There was a TDF race day that he would gladly have ridden this bike...read the wiki...not long but fascinating. Teaser...he was one of the only three people in history that were sanctioned to wear the Tour de France yellow jersey on the same day!
