Thanks David! As one of the organizers I was so busy during the day that it's all kind of a blur now. Actually the pics have to help my own memory! The green Frisol bike (the last pic I believe) is a Gazelle; it is a teambike from the Frisol team, early 70s. It says 'benzine mij' (gasoline co.) on the toptube! Strangely enough, that was the only Gazelle displayed, although there were a lot of Gazelles riding around outside! Just like the awful brown 'Caballero' frame, it was not unusual in those days to have a bike named by the sponsor. Caballero was (is?) a Dutch cigarette brand, that sponsored a famous team. I think I saw both a Flandria and a Superia, but obviously didn't photograp h them. Other participants and visitors have taken pics too, so something wil l turn up probably.
