This is puzzling? Did they find old stock and paint or are they taking orders to build replica's? If so, the picture looks to have internal cable routing and tapered fork crowns, none of which would match the team bike from the past. AND why would the factory have frames "on the rack" that could not have been manufactured in that facility? My experience in communicating with the current factory is that they had no interest in EM Team Fames (or other) hand built in Belgium prior to 1980. I still have not been able to substantiate any information on my EM Team Frame.
