I wonder what became of it? A collector's item for sure. The saddle, wow!

Really good interview with Steve:
https://pezcyclingnews.com/interviews/retro-talk-canadian-super-star-steve-bauer-interview/He talks about that bike:
"PEZ: And that famous bike you rode in Paris-Roubaix?
The idea for that came from Richard Dejoncheere, the brother of our sport director and ex-pro Noel. It was powerful and efficient but it wasn’t versatile or agile enough and the acceleration wasn’t good – but it rode like a Cadillac on the cobbles! It made me realise that road bikes are the shape they are for a reason; you can get more power down or be more comfortable with other configurations but the ‘double diamond’ shape meets all needs."
Quality pictures as well
