Description
KAS was a Spanish-based professional cycling team which was active from 1958 until 1979 and again for three years in the 1980s. Its name was derived from the name of the principal sponsor of the team, the soft drinks manufacturer, KAS. The team was principally based in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
1972 was when Kas really dominated the Spanish cycling scene as Kas-Kaskol, in a yellow and royal blue jersey with an almost Eastern European font. José Antonio González was in the Spanish national champion’s jersey, Domingo Perurena took the green points jersey of the Vuelta a España, José Manuel Fuente took both the mountains classification and the overall of the Vuelta. Fuente would win the Vuelta for a second time in 1974 before the health problems that would cause his untimely death at the age of 50 caused him to retire early. 1975 saw the Kas logo feature on the green winner’s jersey of the Tour de Romandie following Giro runner up Francisco Galdos’s win.
These early 1970s KAS bicycles were manufactured by the legendary Spannish frame builder José Marotias, as for the components it comes equipped with a Campagnolo Record groupset.
