2nd upgrade Jan Janssen

I did upgrade last week my Jan Janssen bike of 1976 for the second time. I did respray it, and added specialy made stickers, as a replica teambike of the professional dutch caballero team as in the '60/'70. As they had no material sponsor the riders did buy a bike as they wanted, which was sprayed in the team colors by the team. The team did participate in the Tour de France of 1970.

In 1976 as original


1st renovation 1984 ?


Now, oct 2012


Harrie Steevens (1970)


Cees Zoontjens (1970)

I really like that. What kit do you have on it?

Nothing is orginal anymore. Everything has been replaced once or even more. It is not quite a kit so to speak anymore.

- Wheels are Mavic rims with Normandy hubs (high flanges = strong wheels).
- Tubes Continental Giro.
- Freewheel pignon Shimano 13-28
- Handlebars Cinelli 42-66, stem Cinelli 1R.
- Handlebartape - Tressostar. (looking for red instead of black).
- Brakes Modolo Corsa (black, sublime stoppers !)
- Brake levers Shimano 105 (the nicest slim ones ever made).
- Cable binders on top tube Shimano Dura Ace
- Cranks, chainrings and chainstays SR Maxi 52-38 (48 as spare)
- Front mech Campagnolo Super Record.
- Shifter Suntours powershifters.
- Rear mech Shimano 105 (because the earlier Camagnolo 980 could not 'get' the 28 cog)
- Seatpost SR (just like Campagnolo 196
- Saddle Crivit (from Lidl !!!! I do have a San Marco Rolls Royce, but cannot get used to it.)
- Pedals SR.
- Toeclips and straps (and strapends) Lapize.
- Chain SRAM
- Spokes Hoshi
- Bottle cage - Elite (looking for a TA)

So, I think every brand is on it.

I finaly completed this Caballero project this winter. And also shown in rBoTM of february. Maybe to early. Last month I did mount a MAFAC racer brake kit including the original '70 levers. Last week I did add a more time related bottle cage. And yesterday I got my wish completed, a really leather saddle. In a perfect condition, well maintaned. An Idéale 70, also French, as the brakes. And a more or less time related bottle. Ofcourse there always more wishes. We wait till they apear. I am already glad with it as it is.
