Berthoud Cycles Aubisque

A touring saddle by Brethoud, a variation on a theme. De RVS rail by Mente, de Troxjes van de Vars, that is what makes Aubisque. For some background information:

The Col d'Aubisque is a moutain pass in the French Pyrenees and is most famous for the cycling stages of the Tour de France.

The most legendary tale of d'Aubisque is the fall of Wim van Est in 1951. Van Est took too much risk at the decent and fell down a 70 meter cliff. Fortunately he was not hurt badly, but he had to be rescued by tying bicycle tires together. In memory of his fall, a plaque was applied at the bend of his fall.
