Champs start with the Tourney
When champions win races, what’s the secret of their bicycles? It’s no secret, really. It’s the derailleur. Freddy Maertens, shown here, was using the Shimano Crane for his winning race. Many champs who stay on top started by using the Tourney because it’s tough, smooth, sensitive and lightweight. Of course – the Tourney and the Crane have the same design and function, so for a future champ like you the Tourney is just what you need. Be sure your bicycle has the Tourney derailleur. You can get it at your dealer and have him put it on for you or you can put it on yourself. Start now, the championship way.
