I made my tribute to the passing of Ernie Clements yesterday with a ride on my 1972 Falcon San Remo, in the signature sky blue. It of course has the decal proclaiming "Designed by Ernie Clements". As long as these bikes are preserved, Ernie's name won't be forgotten.

Besides leaving behind a lot of grea t riding and great looking Falcon bicycles he had the forethought to put hi s name on every one of them. Although we in the CR world may know the name s behind our bicycles; the teenager that bought a Falcon thirty years ago k new that his bike was "Designed by Ernie Clements". Not an endorsement; th is was THE man was responsible for creating this wondrous machine.

And forget those air kisses stage winners get from podium girls in today's races. This is how real cycling champions are rewarded:
