Flandria Classic Racing Bike 1970s

Flandria is a big name with a great place in cycling history.
The company was from Belgium and had one of the most successful cycling teams the world has seen. With a legendary status and its instantly recognizable bikes with stern decor, Flandria bicycles were ridden by great cycling champions like Freddy Maertens, Herman Van Springel, Jan Janssen, Erik De Vlaeminck, Sean Kelly and so many more!
Their frames, though lacking the finesse of some Italian bikes, were utterly stable, tested and proven reliable time and again on the flemish cobble stones. Most of them were made of Japanese Ishiwata Steel tubing. A material that was comparable with Columbus tubes but came with a better finishing, which made it popular among frame builders. Our frame is made from this tubing, Campagnolo dropouts and classic Bocama lugs.
The bike is equipped with a Shimano Dura Ace groupset, which seems appropriate, since Flandria was the first Continental team to be sponsored by Shimano with this groupset.
Besides being one of the finest groupsets of its time, this Dura Ace makes the whole bike Strade Bianche eligible.
We checked the bike thoroughly and can approve of it as an appropriate choice for rough L'Eroica routes or to bring that glance to your friends eyes, who can recollect the impressive performances of the Team Flandria.
