Folke Mannerstedt and his racing bike (1923)

Folke Mannerstedt and his racing bike at the Stockholm velodrome in 1923. Mannerstedt (1901 - 1897) broke the Swedish 5000 m record on that day.My colorization of Bertil Norberg´s original photo in the SCIF.se archive.

 

Mannerstedt went on to study engineering and later became a very successful designer of Husqvarna motorcycles.
