The photog would have to have been quick, seeing as how Coppi died on the 2nd day of 1960. It would seem somewhat unlikely that he was drinking a cuppa on a leisurely ride round the track the day before he died from malaria caught in Burkina Faso in December 1959.Clydesdale Scot wrote:And I challenge anyone to find a photo of Coppi riding any bike in 1960.

Yes that photo has been widely circulated on the internet and I have called it out more than once. It doesnt even look remotely like Coppi.Clydesdale Scot wrote: except is is taken in 1936 and is Dutch cyclist Piet van Kempen circling the track, while reading a newspaper and sipping tea, at Wembley during a six day cycling event. Photo by Derek Berwin.
Theres another one of Kay Werner Neilsen riding the vertical advertising hoardings at Aarhus in the 50s which is being circulated as Matthew Gilmore in the 90s, again looks nothing like Matt and its not a trick he ever did anyway.
But its the internet hey, and no-one bothers to check anything before re-sharing the falsehoods...

Edit: My Dad who rode bikes in Tasmania in the 50's had a vague recollection that Bilyard was English, but he wasn't entirely sure.

It appears that Bilyard was a Tasmanian company, but their advertising for bicycles stopped abruptly in March 1950

Well spotted. I nearly didn't notice that at first glance.ldrcycles wrote:"

Looks like there might be a smaller (but matching) bend on the down tube just above the shift levers. It's obviously had a nice firm front end impact.
