Bandera, I met the first woman National Champion (1937) at a bike show in Seattle in the '90s. She had a booth with photos and her bike, custom built by her dad, a retired pro. She gave me a postcard of her on her bike between the two men's champions, all balancing, her arms on their shoulders. That bike fit her! Obvious in the photo, obvious seeing her next to it.
