Now yer talkin'!!! Real bikes.....Columbus SLX Viners, Colnagos, Masis, Rossins all with Record and Mavic GP4 tubular rims.....Riders like Soukhourochenkov, Ekimov, Aboujapaorv, Ludwig, Grewal, Argentin, Criquelion, Vanderaerden, Planckaert etc etc
Enough of this carbon, Ti, alu, magnesium talk.....let's get back to road racing 1980s, Eastern Bloc-style!!!
