FMB.
“There are a total of 80 steps that go into making one tubular; in terms of man-hours, it takes about one and a half hours, but having to wait for the adhesive to dry means each stage takes about one to one hour, fifteen minutes. That is why we can only produce 130 to 150 tubulars a month. Any more than that and our quality will not be the same.”
“I have never spent a centime on publicity. My belief is that if you make the best then word of mouth will be enough,” Marie said.
He dug out many articles about FMB, some in non-cycling publications, from a multitude of countries. He showed each with the pride of a young boy. On the walls are some of his favorites. “I use these to motivate us.” There are also signed pictures from pros thanking FMB for their tubulars, but it is a modest display. No signed jerseys here, just rough cut-outs pasted on the wall. It reminded me of a young boy who has cut out pictures of his idols and stuck them on his bedroom wall.
“I do not sponsor teams, maybe the odd tubular here or there for young riders. Twenty tubulars for a team would be three weeks’ work, let alone the cost of the parts. They buy them from me. I do not want to conflict with their sponsors, but all my tubs are marked FMB.”
