"Reinforced tubes; 'Rationals'"
The artist of this poster would update its design annually over the course of several years with each new model year's bicycle. In addition to changing the bicycle, other alterations to the posters ornament were made. The earliest version had a yellow background, and the rider did not have buttons on her jacket or a belt. The winding road was also a later addition. The puncture resistant, reinforced tubes were certainly a feature exclusive to this year's model, and therefore worth noting.
