found this on the fixed gear gallery a while back, love the fact that the winner's wheel disintegrates as he crosses the line. check the inner tube making a leap for freedom! haha!
apparently the back reads "December 1949, Von Bueren's cycle desintegrates as he wins the Swiss Championship in Zurich. Siegenthaler finishes second, but intact."
