ブルーメルはトップクオリティーのモーターパーツメーカーでありました。ベイクライトという素材を使いクルマのステアリングホイールから自転車のリフレクターなどを製造、30年代以来自転車の世界ではその軽さから優れたレース用のプロダクトであり、マドガードが有名でその他にもグリップやポンプなどなど、自分の自転車に付けてみたい、付けておきたいパーツの一つであります。
Bluemel's used celluloid as a material in the 1930'3 for mudguards etc, This material was also found on Rudge bicycles/motorcycles for handlebar covering. Don't mistake post war Rudge machines which were made by Raliegh in Nottingham. Original Rudge was made in Coventry.
ReplyDeleteI remember in the 1960's Bluemel's products were the leaders for accessories at the local cycle shop
Oh yes celluloid for mudguards isn't it,
ReplyDeleteI like the name of these mudguards " no weight, feather weight, light weight etc,,, " and it's actually so light.
Rudge is the best Britten's Bicycle
