Stan Ockers (Belgium) wins the 1955 World Road Championships in Frascati, Italy. Note the Universal "Extra" calipers, tape wrapped around the brake levers almost their full length, two-cable rear derailleur (what kind is that?), new plastic bottles with flat (spoutless) snap-on lids (lid missing from bottle in his pocket), no chrome on his Elvé frameset, scalloped Titan handlebars, and bar plugs installed over the bar tape. From "Miroir-Sprint" No.481, 29th August 1955.
