Publisher: ESKA, Favorit

Country: Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia at the time)

Date: 1981?

Derailleur brands: ESKA, Favorit

Derailleurs: Favorit Special


This instruction book indicates that ESKA and Favorit were brands of the same company until quite recent times.


What do I see in it? Well...:


  1. •The wealth of design. This booklet is just so much more stylish than contemporary offerings from western giants like Raleigh or Schwinn

  2. •The poverty of the quality of printing. Why in the worker-state is it the white-collar designers who come up with the goods and the blue-collar printers who produce such garbage? Was Communism an Art School project that ran amok?

  3. •The strange wastefulness of the Soviet empire - in a 30 page document do you really need five pages for notes and six pages that show nothing but branding?
