(only dreaming). The manager in 1980 was Lomme Driessens, the ultimate wheeler-dealer. Maybe he arranged a deal to have Boule d'Or's name on the bikes. I would say that it is a Colnago for certain.

To the best of my memory it was Driessens I once met, after a stage of
Giro d'Italia that had just ended in Castelfidardo, when he was
'coaching' Rick van Looy..
I would have a very nice story to tell about my encounter with Rick and
Lomme.
Some day I'll tell you.
