Flandria is a nice brand as well. And Elev12k, i guess your assumption that there were many small artisans building frames (and more probably as a side business to a cycle store) is correct, i just mist out on a full reynolds 531 bike branded in the name of a store from belgium in "that seventies" light blue - a pity, really. But I think that the belgian market switched to Italian bikes quite early compared to other places, because all the pro's rode on GIOS'ses, Colnago's etc.
