Very large colour pics today, divided into three images.

Image #1 - Bobet and Kubler, with Kubler in the Yellow Jersey, near the end of the 1950 Tour de France.

Image #2 - Very large detail image of Bobet. Note thorn catcher, "northern-style" handlebars. I think those are MAFAC brake levers. Are those MAFAC sidepulls?
