I have come across a scrapbook that I had in my collection for a few years now. I found it at an estate sale here in NJ and just put it away with all my other bike stuff and forgot about it. Just relocated it, dusted it off and took some photos that I am sharing on wooljersey. These seem to be a combination of Professionals and Amateurs racers. They are cut outs from what I believe to be old programs as the backs have race results and similar wording on them. Some are card stock while others are newspaper type stock. I can just imagine some kid collecting these and probably wanting a bicycle desperately. Pretty interesting to see the outfits, the bikes and the racing positions used. Wonder what one of these guys would do on a more modern bike. Probably destroy it. Here is the link at the bottom of the page on the right, enjoy.
