Preparing for Paris-Roubaix, 1935
Members of the Alcyon team replace a tire while preparing for the 1935 Paris-Roubaix. From left to right: neo-pro André Deforge, Amédée Fournier, Vincent Salazard, and René Le Grevès. Note the interesting paint scheme on the two bikes at left, spare tubulars under the saddle and in the bottle cage of Le Grevés fendered and single-speed bike, and what could almost be a striped wrapping job of Deforge's handlebar tape. From "l'Intransigeant Match" No.448, 12th March 1935.
