Re: Do you have snow chains?

Wouldn't use snow chains with alloys. Would need a second set of wheels. Most countries that have a greater difference in season's the people tend to have summer wheels all nice alloys etc, and the winter wheels, good old steel wheels with winter tyres.

Re: Gedinne 1991/2

Roger McCall on the JP engineering bike.

Chris Baert was a Belgium Police officer from Gent. Raced as the Gent Express.
