Genuine Cycles Mercier 60s musette bag

Description:
Authentic Cycles Mercier 60s musette bag which directly descended from Antonin Magne, who ran the Mercier team from 1945 to 1969 so successfully, he accumulated so many successes with Moujica, Diot, Van Steenbergen, Gauthier, Bobet, Bouvet, Impanis, Gainche, Privat and Poulidor, that we end up forgetting that this prestigious sports director also raced. And what a racer!

An irreproachable, dense career, honourably known to cycling historians: Paris-Limoges in 1927 and 28, the Tour de France in 1931 and 34, the Grand Prix des Nations in 1934, 35 and 36, the world championship in 1936 in Bern are the finest examples. To sum up, Antonin Magne represented eighteen years of competition, twenty-five years of sports management and ten years of federalism: the sum total of his services to cycling is edifying!

Very rare opportunity! A must-have and hard to find for collectors! NOT a reproduction.
