Yes, according to a Japanese magazine, B.Hinault of La Vie Claire team rode Hinault bicycles . And there are photos of a bicycle which Hinault rode at TdF 1985 and was made of Reynolds 753. It is said that "the bicycle was made by a famous mechanic, Alain Decroix ". ( this spelling is my guess) Now this bicycle is in the Bicycle Cultural Center in Japan.
