This photograph captures a mesmerizing piece of history, showcasing the intricate details of a track racing bicycle known as "Clement" from 1897. Preserved in the esteemed Genazzini Collection in Milan, this remarkable artifact is currently being showcased at the exhibition titled "Man and two wheels". The focal point of this image lies on the pedals and chain, providing an up-close view of these essential components that powered this vintage bicycle. The pedals exude elegance with their ornate design, reflecting the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. The chain, meticulously interwoven between gears and sprockets, symbolizes both strength and unity - connecting each part to ensure seamless motion.
