CyclingNews honoring Vintage bikes
https://www.cyclingnews.com/features...dbuilt-petrus/
Nice to see a current cycling website occasionally writing about our Classics. I think i've seen a couple of other vintage bikes portrayed in the past.
Even a nice story for the Koga-Miyata:
"According to Peiper, this Pro Luxe came about after he asked Erik Zabel if he could hunt down a Campagnolo Record groupset with the 'cobalt blue stone on the brakes'. Unsure of its exact origin, Peiper had been fond of this particular iteration of Campagnolo's Record brakes since the mid-eighties. The Campagnolo Cobalto brakes were launched in 1986 as a replacement for the problematic C-Record brakes, and coincided with the 50th anniversary of Super Record.
A few weeks later, Zabel enquired as to which bike Peiper was riding at the end of his career, asking which saddle, handlebars and groupset he used, and for which team. Peiper obligingly answered.
Peiper told Cyclingnews: "I didn't think any more of it, but a couple weeks later I went to Liège–Bastogne–Liège and there was a bike standing there, and a mechanic said, 'Erik Zabel dropped off this bike for you – it's a present.' "
