We've discussed this marque before. Woolistics makes a beautiful wool retro reproduction of the Weil's/Groene Leeuw team jerseys. I'd love to have a bike like this one to match my jersey. The components, particularly the Sugino Maxy crank, are not up to the quality of the frame.

The Belgian owner posted 4 photos of this bike which he had only recently bought. Belgian made with full d/b 531 tubing. Here is the link:

I've never heard of the marque, but we really encounter very few Benelux bikes in the US. This one looks like a winner. I wonder if that was typical of the brand, at least during that era?
