Road Bicycle Racing
Road bicycle racing is the cycle sport discipline of road cycling, held primarily on Road surface, paved roads.

Diamant (German Bicycle Company)
Diamant is a German bicycle brand owned by Trek Bicycle Corporation. History The first Diamant-branded bicycles came out of Chemnitz, Germany. The company Gebrüder Nevoigt, Reichenbrand / Chemnitz (Gebrüder Nevoigt, Reichenbrand / Chemnitz) was founded in 1882, by Frederick and William Nevoigt. They started out manufacturing parts for sewing-machines and a line of higher-quality needles. In 1885, they added bicycles to their offerings. Following enthusiastic popular demand for their new bicycles, they added a new wing to the factory, and in 1895, the newly branded Diamant bicycles began to roll off the new assembly line. Innovation continued: in response to existing bicycle chains' poor durability, in 1898 Diamant introduced a new double-roller chain, a design that was to become our modern worldwide standard, now in use on all sorts of machines, from bicycles to motors to industrial machinery. And in 1912, they introduced the "Damenrad" (ladies' bicycle), a new bicycl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
