This bicycle is a product of Holland and was custom
built to measure with Reynolds 531 Competition tubing to the
Gazelle Professional Team specifications. It is
equipped with the Campagnolo 50th Anniversary Gruppo.
It was previously owned by Thomas Villadsen of Denmark
who raced on Team Esbjerg with 1996 TDF winner, Bjarne
Riis. Thomas was forced to quit competitive cycling
because of health reasons, but not before qualifing for
the Danish Junior National Team. In his only race on
this bicycle, he finished fourth behind La Vie Claire/
Toshiba/7-Eleven pro rider Kim Ericksen, crit rider
Lars Jensen and Bjarne Riis and just ahead of Danish
track points race World Champion Michael Marcussen.
