1989 Track Cycling World Championships

I was just browsing through flickr the other night and I found nztony's excellent photos of the 1989 Track Cycling World Championships in Lyon. Check out some of the highlights below, and head over to his photostream to see the rest. Thanks for letting me put these up, Tony!

Tony's not sure who these match sprint riders are. Maybe Frederic Magne (France) v's Bill Huck (East Germany)? Whoever it is, check out the sheriff stars. Nice. Photo by nztony.

East German pursuit bike technology. Insanely advanced for 1989. Also, check out that sweet Colnago. Photo by nztony.

Details of the bb shell of the above bike. The "made in GDR" label slays me. Photo by nztony.
