Something a little different today. We have been having a sort out in the office and we came across this old map. Unfortunately there is no date on it but as you can see it certainly has some history. Anyone any idea to the date of this map ?

Please find attached picture of my vincitore special track which I took last summer just after I had received it and put it together. needless to say the bike has been great, I changed to a fizik arione saddle after not really getting on with the B17 special; otherwise it is the same (despite a…
