MID-TWENTIES ALCYON RACE

The defining performance brand of the early 20th century

- Words: Simon Fellows

Iconic, dominant, legendary – such superlatives are often overused and underdeserved in the world of cycling, but in Alcyon’s case, all of them hit the mark. This remarkable bike was built in the mid-Twenties, a period as momentous as it was triumphant for the French brand.
