Stylin' in Lyon, France 1989

Prolly posted a great pic from 1989 Track Cycling World Championships in Lyon France taken and uploaded by NZTony.

This one here is my choice. Check out Viatcheslav Ekimov's Masi Pista and his full Adidas kit, the Aero helmet and all, and compare those to the styles seen on the Velodromes today. I know which one I prefer.

NZTony's magnificent FLicrk stream has plenty more pics of the same event HERE.
