Adolphe Clément opened his first bicycle manufacturing business in 1878, complete with a repair shop and cycling school. By 1890, his small local business had become the most popular bicycle brand in France. As Clément was also a fanatical racer, it seems only fitting that the muse in this poster should be carrying the many laurels won by him and his brand.Price: $2160(starting bid + 20% buyer’s premium)Want this item?Place an online bid, or CALL US NOW for this special price212-787-4000Until March 3 only!
