in reply to mhoye • • •In one of the earliest TDFs - 1913 - a cyclist named Eugene Christophe had to repair his own busted fork at a local blacksmiths! And not only did he do it, but he caught a time penalty in the process for getting outside assistance because the blacksmith's apprentice helped operate the forge bellows.
