I bought this earlier this week, and it is a total mystery. Some of you California folks might be able to provide an assist. Let me take you back to 1962 . . . Pasadena. Acme Bike Shop at 1629 E. Washington Blvd. Ring any bells?
Once you've solved that for me, teach me about the brand Alpha, because my friend Google knows nothing of it.

Oh, and here's a bonus. Not mine, but I found it on a 3-speed Columbia at the LBS yesterday - The Handlebar Bicycle Shop.

The Van Schendel brothers, Albert and Antoon, were Dutch professional riders who lived in France and were part of the first Dutch team to participate in the TdF in 1936. Their careers were cut short by WWII, and after that they opened a bike shop in Toulouse, France. During their careers they've always ridden for France Sport.
Apparently this bike came from their shop.

Circa 1980, I think.

Spain and a Spanish Colony
Here are a couple from bikes I picked up recently... I couldn't find anything about Marniher in Spain (I think this bike was bought in the 80s), but I did find this quote about La Paz in Mission Viejo (and this one was bought in the 70s)... "They were located in a shopping center at the intersection of La Paz and Marguerite behind the Burger King. It was run by an older British couple and their son. The head mechanic had a sweet mustache and a cool Buick Grand National."

Stealing is stealing.

A Moto Grand Jubilé from Ray Florman's A-1 Bicycles in St Louis. Raysport refers to the frames associated with the shop.

Not completely on topic but since we're talking about bikes and stickers, once I peeled off a really cool gigantic grey Mavic sticker from the glass front door of a bike shop after hours, then put the sticker on my tool box. It was kind of like stealing except I'm sure the shop got the sticker for free from Mavic or its distributor, so it's not like I stole anything of value. My conscience is clear.

This was on a Lejeune tandem I bought. Shop was still active when I checked on it a few years ago.

I wonder if that's where Country Ski & Sport is now?

Thanks for the offer to take a deeper look. I’ll be with the bike Monday and should be able to post pics then.
