Hi guys!
I just purchased this ex-team Panasonic PR-6000, build with Tange Prestige and equipped with Dura Ace 7400 STI en Ambriosio Balance rims. Found it on Dutch Marktplaats.nl and took it home for 110 euro's. I'm always in for a bargain!
I bought this bike from an ex-neighbour of Theo de Rooij, who drove for Team Panasonic in 1990. The current owner told me he got the bike from Theo the Rooij after he won a game of bridge from him. This particular bike did belong to Michel le Grand (serial number is MG-2-1991, the second bike for Michel le Grand), the son of framebuilder and Panasonic mechanic Jan le Grand.
Michel le Grand was given a chance from manager Peter Post to ride in the Panasonic Team in 1991, but after one year he quit the team. I can't find anything about his further career.
The bike needs attention. The frame is solid, but with paint damage. The chainrings are also a bit worn and should be replaced.
I will post more pictures soon. My camera is broken at the moment. This photo comes from my telephone and is a bit crappy.
