Title: TOUR DE fRANCE
Post by: Ar26 on July 04, 2025, 01:49:31 PM
Tomorrow the Tour de France starts in my city. Lille is located near Belgium. I see that the first Tour de France took place in 1903. Note that the winner Maurice Garin covered the Lyon - Paris stage (467 km) at an average speed of 27.8 km/hour with a .......20 kilogram bike on roads whose quality is easy to imagine. That was just a thought. Have a good ride everyone

Oh, so you’re literally Van Rysel? (For my Dutch friends out there?) A bit cold maybe, but what a beautiful city!

No carbon frame, no wind tunnel, no wide IW rims, no electronic transmission, no hydraulic brakes — and worst of all, no oversized jockey wheels — and yet, they still made it. Respect!

on a fixie no less! on the plus side, the seat tube on that first ever TDF winning bike does look reminiscent of the Y1RS!  ;D
