Depends on how far back you want to look.

Derailleur-equipped cycles, for instance, are a recent innovation in the
Tour; and Tullio only started making stuff in the latter half of the 20th
century.

1933, isn't the 'later half of the 20th Century'...Ders started in the
early 50s altho they existed before that, but were considered 'sissy'
for the major tours, good for cyclotourists only.
