New bicycle in my collection

I have now cleaned the bike and finally I could take a photo of it. I am not sure from wich year the bike is from, but when I look at the gears and brakes my good guess is 1995/96 or 1997. Why I bought this bike is that it´s very similiar to the bike that Team Gewiss Ballan/Playbus used between 1995-96.

I consider it as an object much because I have to fix the chain and some other small things Before I can say that it´s in its former glory. I am not 100% sure of it will stuck in my Collection, time will show.

But still it´s a nice bike.

Team SAAB - 1977/78

Today I got a VERY nice surprise in my mailbox, I didn´t thought that it would arrive so soon.
But I am at the same time very Pleased! One of the riders in this Team in the end of the 70:s was very kind to send me three Jerseys which he used in the Team. When I called him he said it was funny because he had found this (the black one) just a year ago and that he had nailed into the wall in his Garage.

But when I explained my matter he said that the Jersey would be more to use in my Collection. At first he didn´t want any Money for it, so I insisted that I would send some money as a gift to be used for the youth in his Cycling Club. And so was done, and now I got the Jerseys at home. They are going to get a really nice place so I can show everyone who wants to see them good. If you want to see the photos better just click on the photo and you will see it bigger.
