The Aluminium O gets my vote, long journey, but owning the frame (pre spraying) and passing it on to Boy O Boy and seeing the end result. Great stuff Ben 😎😎

Won’t be long until the Belgium spring classics come in late February. 1989 winner of Het Volk Etienne Van de Wilde in the Belgium championship attire 😎

1988 Olympic Champion on the road.. Powerhouse

Big Mig 1990 as guess 👍

Would make sense. Interesting, and I bet very frustrating 🤦🏻‍♂️

The less than ideal rear suspension Johan M’s Bianchi, in the epic 94 Roubaix.

Derek Demol in the 1988 Paris Roubaix, the remnants of the breakaway that made it..
