Try sending an email to Mr Timmermans and he will not give you a straight answer to any questions except that there will not be any ''BLACK ONLY!'' high end tires................Heck! He couldn't give me an answer as to who in this ''WHOLE WIDE WORLD!'' is dealing Clement tires? I asked this same question 3 or 4 times and never gave me an answer, always went around it like a snake.

I also told him that they blew it when Merckx Domo took 1st 2nd and 3rd during the Paris Roubaix while riding on I think Old stock Asian made Paris Roubaixs! This was their chance to Reintroduce the Clement line-up with a bang!................A major ''BOO BOO!'' on their part. Hell! I don't even think he knew that the team was on old Clements?...................I only know this because while on a visit! Rene I think is his name?? ''SAID!''.....................''LOOK!'' up there!...............Clement Paris Roubaixs, the team will be using them during the match of Paris Roubaix.

Just my take on Clement.....................Everybody should send Mr Timmermans a note! WE WANT HIGH END BLACK TIRES!

Baron C..................And the gang causing trouble!...........Eindhoven, Holland!
