Roger Riviere at the 1960 Tour de France.

Bike is fully chromed, equipped with Campagnolo "Record" gruppo, including 151bcd crankset, Gran Sport r der, Record f der. Red lettering on the down tube (would this bike be a "Geminiani"?).

The brakes are Universal "Extra", but the brake levers appear to be MAFAC with half hoods???

The bottle cage (Vit?) has tape wrapped into a roll at the top front.

Within a few days of this picture, Riviere would crash on the descent of the Perjuret, leaving him permanently paralyzed.
