[A half-page advertisement inside a thin single-rule frame. Four accessories are drawn large in line with heavy black drop shadows: a long Zefal frame pump crosses the panel diagonally from lower left to upper right, its barrel lettered “ZEFAL” and “SOLIBLOC course” and its handle lettered “ZEFAL”; at the upper left a steel toe clip with its pedal plate, stamped “CHRISTOPHE” along the strap guide; at the lower center a handlebar bell with its clamp, the bell’s tab lettered “AFA”; at the right a coiled leather toe strap with its buckle, the strap lettered “Lapize” in script within quotation marks and the buckle’s badge lettered “LA PIZE”. Each brand name is set in heavy sans-serif capitals beneath a smaller product line. No signature is visible.]
[This advertisement shares page 10 of L’Officiel du cycle with an advertisement for Rota, held here as its own record.]
