Eddy Merckx Elite Restoration @ 3 Oct - As a Covid lockdown creative project goes this was a nice project …. Herve Boutin (BiciSport Anytime Fitness) took it upon himself to source a “new” (2002) Eddy Merckx Elite brand road frame from a local bike shop, sourced a Campagnolo 10 speed groupset coupled with a period correct Mavic Kyrsium 10 speed wheelset. The matching orange Eddy Merckx handlebar tape sealed the final restoration job with matching Eddy Merckx bidon & bidon cage.

Gazzola Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - 1960-64
The team rode 5 Tours of Italy with no stage wins. Notable team leaders sat with Charly Gaul & Ferdi Kubler (won Tour de France 1950 & World Championships 1951).
Gazzola was Italian pasta, bikes were again Italian in Fiorelli and tyres were Hutchinson. Team riders had limited results with Franco Cribiori more famous as a Sports Director at the Brooklyn Chewing Gum team some 10 years later.
Charly Gaul won the 1956 & 59 Tour of Italy (pictured above) for the EMI team then joined Gazzola in 1960
