88-year-old Ko Zieleman passed away in his sleep last night. https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/fietsenbouwer-ko-zieleman-88-overleden/

On a side note: In 1994, Patrick Evenepoel (Remco's dad), Adrie van der Poel (Mathieu's dad) en Jos van Aert (Wout's uncle) were all members of team Collstrop-Willy Naessens. All one very nice Campagnolo-equipped Concorde Squadra bikes. https://nos.nl/artikel/2373358-van-der- ... ar-he.html

Updating my 1993 Extralight is almost complete: just waiting for a set of 23mm Dugast Strada tubulars and I'm ready to roll. Components are mostly from 2007 but 3ttt bars are NOS from the early nineties...

Color scheme is certainly loud as was customary in those days. The other bikes in my small collection have more modest paintjobs but I had to keep this one as a teenage memory: my first ever full-size road bike had the exact same paintjob: here I go in 1991...

For Lemond it was basically a billboard for a personal sponsor with its big Scott decals. For me they're part of the history of this bike: I have this set op drop-in bars since 1993 when I used them on a Peugeot with the exact same color scheme. Delta brakes, when properly set-up, are not better...

My personal experience with the affordable Vittoria Rally and Continental Giro tubes is that they are okay (but not great) as long as they stay dry but quickly loose their shape and go wobbly after one or two rainy rides. For a good quality tubular tire with tan sidewalls for a classic bike I go...

Hi all, A recent discussion with some cycling friends made me wonder when the first European-built TIG-welded fat-tubed road frames were introduced. Obviously, Cannondale and Klein were making such frames since the mid-1980's and by the late 1990's oversized alu ruled the cycling world. I think...

The DT Swiss wheels would look better in this bike with the decals removed

I once had a steel frame clear powdercoated but the paint cracked when headset, BB and seatpost were inserted so there was rust within a few months.

Re: Re: These frames were built by the Dutch from Japanese tubes :wink:

Re: Re:

Excellent!

I came across some images of this bike which is obviously not period-correct but it did make me wonder: what was the very first ahead stem and when was it introduced? In my memory they first appeared in 1996/97 but no doubt some niche brand or maker was already tinkering and used one earlier?

Sehr schön!
