>>>I seem to recall someone suggesting Benelux - and Dale blessing the idea.<<<<
My recollection is the same, and the archives will no doubt confirm it. Benelux is how the region is represented on the CR web site, with Merckx (of course), Concorde, Batavus, Flandria, Gazelle, RIH and Zieleman identified with their own page (or page to be). To that I can add Schroder and Bazani, although I'm sure there are many others. I have two Merckx frames, and this is just the impetus I need to bring them out of "retirement".
On a related note, I visited both Schroder and Bazani while in Copenhagen on business a couple of years ago. I will try and post some pix of my visit later today.
