Tour d’Historique

I got up all excited yesterday, checked my bike, ate my porridge, showerd, checked bike, got into my retro kit and set off through a downpour to the start…to find my self on my own.

The race was today.

So, had the same kind of start, with sunny weather, I rode the Nuovo Mexico

This was the organizer’s maiden event,which was in Haarlem in the North of Holland.

Stunt Bike

I rode this at my LBS yesterday,

001

the proprietor took in part exchange 15 years or so ago,

when he first started out in the game

004

the original owner told him he imported 4 or 5 from Italy

007

without being familiar with it, this was difficult to ride more than few meters, in order to go in a straight line, your meant to put your weight through your hips and into the saddle, and pressure on the bars.
