I knew the guys from Flanders personally. It's a Belgian brand from Oudenaarde. Frans Assez was the founder, his brother Luc was shopkeeper and Frans' son Ronny used to be a pro in some obscure mid-nineties teams. They had about everything, going from kids' bikes to high end road frames. Never had any own production, bikes came from different Belgian frame builders (and later from Asia). They had lots of crappy bikes but also some nice steel frames in the nineties. I used to have one that was made from Columbus crimped tubing (cfr. Colnago Master from the nineties).
That's great information thanks so much. Mine has the crimped tubing almost identical to my buddy's Colnago, and a similarly rad paint job.
I'll try post a picture later on. Thanks again!

Does anybody know anything about Flanders bikes? I've had a good dig around - there have been a few for sale over the years but nobody seems to have much info about them. I don't think the steel frame I've been gifted has anything to do with the Australian company of the same name, but could be wrong.
I'll update with a photo when I'm home.

The IFS is a shill masquerading as an independent organisation which has advocated policies such as abolishing inheritance tax, cutting high end tax rates, and reducing corporation tax in favour of increasing VAT.
It is not an impartial body (despite what you might believe from the BBC's reportage) by any stretch of the imagination. It is one of a number of right-wing think tanks which encourages further austerity to protect the interests of free market ideologues.
They can fucking hang with the rest of them.

Anybody playing Insurgency on PC? It's on steam sale for $1 over here across the pond and it's easily the most challenging and rewarding multiplayer FPS I've played in a while.
