professional racing bicycles. Founded in 1926, Helyett sponsored some of the premier racing teams
in the sport, counting legends Rene Vietto and Jacques Anquetil among it's riders. Helyett produced
a complete line of bicycles and motorcycles, and the Helyett Speciale was the marque's professional
model. This well-used example is equipped with a Simplex Tour de France derailleur, named after
Jean Robic's 1947 win, Simplex Competition rod-actuated front derailleur, Durax crankset with
double fluted crank arms, Berthet pedals and Lam brakes with Lefol brake levers.
