Re:
Again time a BOT with many discussions.
When I read the "theme of the month" , I immediately knew which bike I want you to do here .
landsbee`s Cilo Team ex Albert Zweifel Bike
The Cilo is lugged and made from Columbus Off Road Steel with a Original AccuTrax 1" Fork, Rest of the Parts all Original (only the Saddle ist a 91`Flite).
It is the EX bike by Albert Zweifel
(5x Cross World Champion and 9x Swiss Cross Champion) in 1990 his career was over and he wanted to but not quite complete it, and a few amateur mountain bike racing contest . In 1989 he drove a season for the Swiss Mondia MTB Team , 1990 then only amateur race for the Swiss Cilo team. In 1991, he give the bike to a young MTB driver ( J.Berwert ) who drove it after that for a lot of races , sometime before it ended up in a basement ( not brushed :shock:
Many years later it was him then only in the way and he has sold it and I was the lucky buyer .
He could not understand why I , with its dirt , scratches and bad paint would absolutely have this old bike , I got it to him then to put it simply ...
This is a piece of bike history, drawn from many competitions , falling etc. a witness to the good old days !
I have never cleaned the Cilo , it probably still stuck to the dirt from the 90s on it :mrgreen:
