I saw in Le Cycle from 1950 or 1951 a Rebour drawing of a bike used by the KOM (I believe), which was "anonymous," but Rebour revealed it was made by Ducheron. As I understood it, riders had a choice between bringing bikes or getting one supplied.
Quoting from memory here. Anybody else got any info on this?
