The Special Edition has been recreated using the original features: a Selle Italia Turbo 1980 saddle, iconic red Reynolds 753 frame tubing, Cinelli bars, Mavic Rims, Campagnolo Drive Train, and the new model has been equipped with a larger 10-speed cassette to get up any gradient. 

Continued Adam;

“Just 250 bicycles and framesets will be available, and each will come with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by legendary rider Joop Zoetemelk.” 

In the build-up to the official release, fans of the team will also be able to join an exclusive online event that will include an interview with the man himself, Joop Zoetemelk.
