About Ebykr
Ebykr celebrates classic and vintage lightweight bicycles through provoking imagery and opinion. Ride along with us.
Step back into the workshop of Spécialités TA, the small Clamart firm whose duralumin chainrings and cranksets carried some of the biggest names in cycling for over seventy years. This gallery gathers the company’s period advertisements, catalog pages and technical illustrations spanning 1948 to 1983, alongside two Daniel Rebour studies of the marque’s cranksets and a present-day photograph of the works now based in Sissonne.
From the earliest handbill for Duralumin plateaux to the Fifi mascot campaigns built around Jacques Anquetil’s endorsement, these images trace how a workshop of thirty people built and defended a reputation among the sport’s greatest champions. Read the full history in our companion article, The Legacy of Spécialités TA.
