onbike 1939, Perhaps you could educate us... I thought the legend spoke of Scott developing them for Greg Lemond in the Tour de France when he broke the time trial record and won the Tour. I do remember buying an early pair that was sold with two versions... one for racers and one for tourist that were wider and cheaper (they were neon yellow too). But I was under the impression that Lemond was the driving force.
Regardless, they sould be on touring bikes as well.
