Cross Cyclo-pédestre, February 18th 1930, Paris

THIS photo!

"Remember, racers still didnt trust the derailleur even into the 1940s, and that held for cyclocross as well - bikes were largely single-speed, often with a fixed wheel. Brakes were still largely sidepulls at this time as well."

From here, and there are many more awesome pics there too.

(Fake?!) Rossin Pista Pursuit

This is Rossin is on Ebay now. The price has gone up from 400 dollars to the current 1500 dollars in less than 24 hours and there are still five days before the auction closes. Like whoa! Also check out the tiger and the scary horror movie dwarf or whatever in the background of the photo.

EDIT.
As pointed out at LFGSS, this could well be a fake, unfortunately. There are not any of the typical Rossin pantographs on the frame and the cool monostay cannot be found in any other similar pursuit Rossins, at least not on the ones one can find photos of online anyway. Also it looks repainted so buyer beware.

FLWRIDER Frameset

The absolute last thing I need now is yet another track frame but damn the new FLWRIDER Frameset looks sweet!

This is the first new track frame in a looong time that I really like by just looking at a photo. Filet brazed Columbus Spirit tubing is, "Like whoah dude!" to me. I'd love to know the exact geometry but all the right details and touches are there including the classic style track fork, oversize downtube and threadless 1 1/8" headset option. Brake hole drillings I could do without, though.

"We’ll be offering 5 different sizes: 50, 52, 54, 56 and 58 (seat tube C to C)
- Fillet-Brazed
- Columbus Spirit tubings
- Track geometry
- Flwrider signature colorway
- Internal seat clamp
- 68mm English BB
- 1″ treadless headset (1-1/8 treadless headset option available)
USD900 Frame and Fork"
