Now that I've finished my earlier Ode to Winter Cycling posting... I wanted to share this unusual bike with everyone.

I purchased the frameset several years ago from Baron Corpuz of Renaissance Cycles, and have still uncovered very little about the frameset. However, recently, a CR member offered me some additional insight, and his personal sighting of what may have been the original race bike which inspired this copy, seen in the offces of the retired former racer who had once rode as Eddys team mate for Moltini. On the linked page I have made you will find most everything I know about the UNION company, their most famous racer (certainly for fans outside of Holland), and lastly, my links on a photo page, which may save you from negotiating a maze on any of the various commercial photo gallery hosting sites.
