It means calm and reserve to me, perhaps coupled with a careful observation of one's manners. It's not exactly a manner of dress or speech- more a way of behaving. Bashfulness and modesty doesn't bring anything but good.
The Rca frame and basic hardware weigh less than 1.5 pounds, keeping the bike's total built weight to about 10 pounds. Tour de France riders must add ballast to hit the race's 15-pound minimum. Drag consumes up to 50 percent of a racer's energy when he's in a pack, 90 percent when he's riding alone. The tubes of the Rca frame are teardrop-shaped in cross section, improving aerodynamics.
The youngest ever winner of the Tour de France was Henri Cornet in 1904 aged 19 years 350 days. Cornet actually finished the race in fifth position, but was awarded the victory after the first four riders, Maurice Garin, Lucien Pothier, CÃ©sar Garin, and Hippolyte Aucouturier were all disqualified after a torrid Tour.
