First off thanks to the folks who sent names of Belgian bike makers. All the names are now in Mitzi's Handspring and I'll do my best too look for them all when we're over there. I research I found on the web seems to indicate that that most of the bike companies were short-term off-shoots or grew into motorsports companies. Motorsports being Belgium's second favorite sport just behind cycling. I'm still shocked at the meager numbers of Belgian bike makers there are and have been over the years. Maybe they just concentrated on making the best beer on earth and left bike to everyone else. This will be just one of the many questions I will try to have answered by the time I return. Thanks again to those folks that gave me leads.
enjoy,
