If Hilary said Anquetil was British......I would probably believe him [wish he was]!.....Hilary knows his stuff and then some.......cyclists in the 50's were not that rich and would use their bikes for a multitude of tasks. A friend would go to time trials on his path frame and change the wheels for race wheels at the start and even use it for touring......and when he went on the track he would just remove the front brake.
