I found within a CTC Gazette, a picture of Rene Herse's daughter 'Lily'
(sic.) riding one of her fathers products on an AIT "Brevett Alpin" in 1951

Just to keep things balanced and show no undue favour towards the male members of the CR list, I've also included for the women on the list, a photo of Marco Pantani. In case Dale should think this is a bit wide of the CR list time frame, this is clear proof that modern riders can see beyond high-tech coke cans by riding classic lugged steel. In this case whilst Marco was awaiting the outcome of his trial.....and how he intends getting the miles under his belt and on his legs for next years TdF......watch out Lance....
