Peter Post and Harm Smits they use to call him armpits over here. Harms came from Amsterdam was a very good rider although a very quite bloke, never had much luck but he did win the Chicago 6 Day with Peter Post, this was Posties first win of many. Harms went to live in Belgium and was a well known Derny pacer in the 60's on the Continent. Cheers Mick B.
