Flandria was owned by 2 brothers who got in a fight so they litteraly split the factory in half with a wall, one half was still Flandria and the other half became Superia. The factory was in my village, Zedelgem in Belgium and my grandparents used to work there, one for Flandria and the other one for Superia
. And another little fact, Eddy Merckx used to ride for them.
Well that's not a story you hear every day.
Very nice bike.
