Not owner but builder. Gösta "Fåglum" Pettersson won Giro d´Italia 1971 amongst many other pro races. He was one of three brothers and a related (a four-piece band of brothers) whom startled the italians and Merckx during late 60´s and 709´s. Gösta rode for MCB (Monark/Crescent Bolagen) and included in his pro deal were to have his own bike shop after the career. MCB would supply parts and he and his brothers would to build high-end bikes. Bikes built by the Petterssons were labeled of course. Mine´s from 1973. The shop is still going in Vårgårda, Sweden. (...I was unhappy with Göstas choice of french components, nowadays I run a 600 group )
