Hmoon27:
Lovely bikes :daumenhoch:
The Wheels track was the first I ever visited as a kid , awesome place. I can remember shitting myself as we drove through Bordesly Green , it was like Calcutta!
Is the wheels track still there?

Mikku:
That's a really cool addition to the book research!! :daumenhoch:

That parts list is interesting too. Wasn't ASCO a Dutch brand? If so, were the ASCO parts put on for the benefit of the Dutch readers or were they standard issue?

Did you have a spare pair of underpants?

From what I gather the dealer P.v. HOOF who partially ran the Dutch arm of the team as well as importing the bikes built them up and marketed them, so I am not surprised to see 'standard' Dutch parts being used. In fact from what I gather there were frame supply issues and said dealer was known to decal up 'other' frames as BW and sell them on. I have seen one such frame. Will try to find a pic. This is why all of the surviving original decal and padsets originate from over there...

dinglem:
Here we go. This is a 'Pro Winner' frame (Belgian brand I believe?) badged as a Brum WHEELS frame by PV HOOF. This came directly from an ex-BW Dutch team member and is as sold.
