The subject heading of this post is how Jim Langley begins this almost full-page story in the September 1996 issue of "Bicycling" magazine, 35th anniversary, Greg Lemond & candled cake on the cover. I sold a buncha mags to the various lists about a year ago, but the pic of this bicycle, "courtesy of Chuck Schmidt's Velo Retro," kept me from throwing this magazine in with the lot. The bike has a look. What else can one say about it? Looks like the "red cloth" is more orangy, and maybe there's pics of the bike on-line, and I'm curious then, about the cloth stripes on the brake levers; I can't recall ever seeing this nice aesthetic touch on other bikes, anybody?
Lower right on the same page is a snippet of news about a group of women cyclists that were attacked at a Tehran velodrome for engaging in behavior deemed "un-Islamic," and the other news snippet lower left debuts a U.S. Post Office stamp of sprinter Paul Swift.
