Fifty-Six Years Ago - Ferdi Kubler's Frejus:
http://www.wooljersey.com/
Big colorized photo of 1950 Tour de France winner Ferdi Kubler. Note
the (Weinmann?) front calipers with very long adjustment slots for the
pads allowing use with short or long-reach framesets, donut gums on the
brake levers, full chrome fork, Campagnolo quick release skewer on the
front hub with wing nuts on the rear hub, fender eyelets front and rear,
Simplex derailleurs. Looks like an extra cable guide/stop at the
midpoint of the right chainstay.
>From "Miroir Sprint" special issue, 8th August 1950.
