Campagnolo 50th Anniversary Groupset - 1983

In 1983 Campagnolo also released a special group for their 50th anniversary. It was much more beautiful than the current offering. The group was based on the Super Record and Cobalto group of the era and was top of the range, with some significant extra touches. Most pieces were marked by a 22 carrot gold logo with a raised/textured Campagnolo shield logo. All pieces contained an engraved signature of Tullio Campagnolo, and a special "50th" logo.

Peace Race - "Course de la Paix"

Peace Race - "Course de la Paix" was the biggest cycling race around the World for non-professional racers, which was organized between Prague, Warsaw and Berlin. The first volume was in 1948 and last In 2003. Next three years (2004 - 2006) it was local race in the Czech republic only under the same name. Next years this race was not organized because sponsors was not interested. It was really big and very famous race especially before 1989 and for a few generation of racers it was absolutely top peak their career.

Josef Regec, ex member the Czech cycling team for Peace Race who spent ten days in yellow jersey try to organize this race again under new name "New Peace Race" from 2014. We wish to him success for this idea.
