Vladim\u00edr Vidim from Prague breathed life into a 123-year-old model of a bicycle named SLAVIA, made by Laurin &amp; Klement. Before the unique bike should end up on display in a museum, Vladim\u00edr wanted to give it a chance to earn its stripes \u2013 by racing nothing less than l\u2019\u00c9tape, one stage of the Tour de France. After six full months of work and preparations, both the bicycle and Vladim\u00edr made it to the finish line. This is their story.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yA3-XfSgKgM<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The chase for a legend<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The SLAVIA models were the very first bicycles Laurin &amp; Klement started to produce in 1895 and the particular SLAVIA Vladim\u00edr Vidim replicated was the brand\u2019s first racing bike, which came after two previous commuter models. The little Laurin &amp; Klement workshop has become, over the course of a century and 25 years, the \u0160koda car manufacturer we know today. Vladim\u00edr is a trained locksmith who has created tens of historical bicycle replicas, including a boneshaker, a draisine or a penny-farthing that he used to set a cycling record, which is not his only one. He\u2019s been an active racer his whole life and nowadays he trains the youth of the Dukla cycling club. Once he was having beers with a friend and when the conversation touched upon the subject of resurrecting a SLAVIA, Vladim\u00edr decided that just bringing the bike back isn\u2019t enough. \u201cWe said to ourselves that if the \u0160koda brand sponsors the Tour de France, it would be great to not only put this legend together but also to ride one stage of the Tour on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-174883 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-2.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-2-1024x738.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-2-1024x738.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-2-300x216.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-2-768x554.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-2.webp 1273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-1.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-1-1024x738.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-1-1024x738.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-1-300x216.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-1-768x554.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-1.webp 1273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>A straightforward and feasible plan \u2013 in theory. But no one was really surprised that practice started to give Vladim\u00edr grief from the very start. An original specimen of the SLAVIA seemed to be something of a unicorn. A few friends and experts were convinced that at least one must be out there somewhere although they\u2019ve never seen it with their own eyes. No museums or private collections seemed to have the coveted racing model, only the commuter version. After intense investigation, Vladim\u00edr eventually gave up searching and he decided to build the entire bicycle from scratch and based solely on period photographs, brochures, and other materials from the \u0160koda Museum archives.<\/p>\n<p>The most difficult proved to be estimating the details and angles of the frame from the photos \u2013 each expert had a different opinion. Vladim\u00edr created nearly the entirety of the bike \u2013 he himself put and welded the chromium-molybdenum pipes together, used a lathe to create the wooden handlebars, and made other individual components. The preparation and construction of the bike took him three months, including the time he had a cast on his arm. \u201cFor six weeks, I could only use one arm. Luckily, I can control both the lathe and the miller with one hand only,\u201d said Vladim\u00edr with admirable matter-of-course attitude. He also added that if the bicycle was destined only for a museum, it would be ready much sooner but he needed this one to take him successfully across the finish line. \u201cI had to re-design the bike so it won\u2019t fall into pieces on the way,\u201d he laughs. In the end, the bike weighs 18 kilogrammes and doesn\u2019t have brakes nor derailleur, just as the original.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-174890\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1273\" height=\"918\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The l\u2019\u00c9tape awaits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For the race itself, Vladim\u00edr equipped himself with clothing, a cycling bottle, and shoes that would match the style of the beginning of the 20th century \u2013 the period the Tour de France first took place (1903). Even though his SLAVIA was fully functional and Vladim\u00edr absolutely did not underestimate the training, not even he expected to use so much \u201celbow grease\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He conquered the 135 kilometres with the total elevation of 4,563 meters and three steep mountainous climbs in 17 hours and 17 minutes but, according to him, he never doubted his performance nor did he consider giving up. What was the cause for concern were the potential technical problems \u2013 after all, there are no peaks like that in the Czech Republic to train on \u2013 but the SLAVIA handled the whole race without a single malfunction. Vladim\u00edr had to walk or run a substantial part of the route \u2013 he could only brake by countermovement of the pedals, which was pretty risky. \u201cThere was a crisis right on the first downhill. The other racers were passing me by terribly fast so I rather got off the bike and ran alongside it. I didn\u2019t want to endanger them nor myself,\u201d Vladim\u00edr explains. He guesstimates that he spent at least 40 km on foot next to his bicycle. So, besides his excellent cycling performance, he incidentally nearly ran an entire marathon in the mountains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-174893\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1377\" height=\"918\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first impressions after getting off the bicycle were joyous ones. \u201cIt was incredible. The SLAVIA bicycle replica had such a huge success! In fact, there wasn\u2019t a single person who wouldn\u2019t show admiration, support or joy. The people were patting my back as if I were a Tour de France rider who just won a stage. That was an enormous motivation,\u201d remembered Vladim\u00edr at the summit finish at Val Thorens at 2,365 metres above sea level, roughly 30 minutes after midnight.<\/p>\n<p>Besides running and the expected technical and terrain obstacles, Vladim\u00edr had to face other difficulties: \u201cI did the whole route with just one refreshment stop. When I was at the 80th kilometre, we arrived late so the refreshment station was already closed. The organizers didn\u2019t think of the latecomers and had everything packed up. I was saved by an energy bar that another rider dropped earlier and I picked it up as litter. A few hours later, I happily promoted it from litter to a snack and ate it. You know, short supply,\u201d laughs Vladim\u00edr.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Finish adrenaline is nice but support is even nicer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All hardships were fully compensated by the friendly atmosphere and the solidarity of other l\u2019\u00c9tape participants. Like when he rode through a pass with thousands of cheering fans or when an onlooking Frenchman refilled his water bottle in the wink of an eye. The support of his family was also a major help: his wife and son kept him company on the last night-time section of the race and lit up his way by the headlights of the \u0160koda SUPERB supporting car. \u201cYou know, all these \u2018human experiences\u2019 are probably more to me than the adrenalin from the race, the finish or the success,\u201d Vladim\u00edr adds.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-174883 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-4.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-4-1024x738.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-4-1024x738.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-4-300x216.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-4-768x554.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-4.webp 1273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-3.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-3-1024x738.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-3-1024x738.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-3-300x216.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-3-768x554.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2019\/08\/Slavia-3.webp 1273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Andy Schleck, a former pro road cyclist, the 2010 Tour de France winner and a current Tour de Luxembourg chairman and a \u0160koda ambassador commented on this incredible feat straight from the sidelines of this year\u2019s Tour: \u201cI have a big respect for [Vladim\u00edr] because I could not finish the l\u2019\u00c9tape on a bike with one speed and a brake where you have to push the pedals backwards. Very impressive and a really cool story, I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even though Vladim\u00edr finished last and long after the set limit, which usually means disqualification from the race, the honorary l\u2019\u00c9tape medal was still deservedly his because such a heroic, unique, and strong-willed feat just had to make the organizers turn a slightly blind eye to the rules. We wish Vladim\u00edr a lot of success in the future and we believe that\u2019s not the last time we heard his name. And in you want to see his now truly legendary SLAVIA, head over to the \u0160koda Muzeum in Mlad\u00e1 Boleslav, the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throw together a lifelong passion for cycling, tradition, and extraordinary craftsmanship skills and you\u2019ll witness the return of a legend.
