• I just read that KZ passed away in April. Although I never met him, I owned and raced on of his bikes back in 1973-74. It was fantastic! I was riding as a junior then, mainly on the East coast criterium circuit. After I started university, I ran out of time and money, so sold it in 1979. Shame on me. Here's a few pics in better days.

  • Nice bike and story too.

  • That's a great story and superb looking Zieleman you had, pure class. Great pics too! Don't hear about Zieleman bikes abroad that often, especially being raced as well. Sad indeed that Ko passed away recently, let's hope his grandson can win today's giro stage and pay tribute.

    Edit: Is your mate in the raleigh jersey riding a ferrari red Zieleman as well?
