Pic of the Day 6th August 1936 French Cyclocross Championships
Race-leader Guihaire scales the rocks of Saint-Germaine during the 1936 French National Cyclocross Championships. He would be overtaken in the final sprint by Paul Chocque. Note the normal caliper brakes, extra tape padding the handlebar "drops", lack of derailleurs, wingnuts on the rear axle, but perhaps a qr lever on the front (photo not clear enough to be certain). From "Match l'Intran" No.506, 24 March 1936.
