Louis van Dijk is the biggest bikeshop in Breda, Holland and had its own bicycle brand, Loverdi. They built race, sports & touring bikes in the seventies, eighties and nineties. I bought this whilst I was touring over there. It was my first 531 machine and the Shimano 600 was a step up from...

Just a quick hello from me. My name's Jason and I've been cycling for the best part of 40 years. I remember when Reynolds 531 was as good as it got and Campagnola and Cinelli were synonymous with quality. I've progressed to a Specialized Allez 24 now but still have a collection of retro...
