Description: BLANCHARD GRANGE / BGA, Saint Etienne. Chase the competition!

BGA was a weapons and cycles factory in Saint-Etienne. The associated name is Blanchard-Grange. This Mint condition poster of a cowboy riding a bike, a rifle in hand, allowed BGA to simultaneously advertise its production of weapons and cycles. The bottom photo shows the Velectrick derailleur system, launched in 1935 by BGA, and articulated by a long metal arm, whose idea was to propose a derailleur without cable. This poster is bright and in near-mint condition.
