The Fraysee`s helped many `want to be` young bike racers during their tenure at the store. The author of CYCLING OVER THE ROOF OF THE WORLD, F.J.Davar, and his cycling companion, Herr G. Sztavjanik completed their trek on Raleigh bicycles, over the Andes Mountains at altitudes of 12,000 to 16,884 feet above sea level, The hard cover book, which is in mint condition, has 114 pages including many photographs taken by them during the trip. The dimensions are 4 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. This book is now in the collection of John Loy who has several hundred bicycling books in his collection, some of which are available for sale. |
