RETRO WIELERSHIRT CABALLERO-LAURENS

In het Nederlandse wielerlandschap van de jaren '60 en '70 was er één ploeg met  strijdlustige renners die een onuitwisbare indruk achterliet: Caballero. Gesponsord door het gelijknamige, populaire sigarettenmerk, groeide deze formatie uit tot een begrip in het peloton. De naam "Caballero," Spaans voor ridder, paste perfect bij de strijdlustige renners die voor het team uitkwamen. Dit is het verhaal van de Caballero "ridders" op de fiets.

De vroege jaren: Een ploeg met karakter (1962-1969)
Toen de ploeg in 1962 werd opgericht, was het direct een serieuze speler in het Nederlandse circuit. Onder de bezielende leiding van ploegleider Gerard (Gé) Peters werd een team gesmeed dat bekendstond om zijn goede sfeer en aanvalslust. Gé was zelf een meer dan verdienstelijk oud-wielrenner. Op zijn palmares staan onder meer de wereldtitel achtervolging, het Europees kampioenschap koppelkoers en talloze nationale titels en zesdaagsen.

Ploegleider Gé Peters in 1952 nog als wielrenner

In de jaren voor de grote Tourdeelname was Caballero vooral een ploeg die zich richtte op de vele criteriums en klassiekers in de Benelux. De contracten waren bescheiden; renners kregen vaak niet meer dan een paar honderd gulden en een kledingpakket. Maar de gemoedelijke, vriendschappelijke sfeer maakte veel goed en trok talentvolle renners aan.

Renners als Leo Duyndam en Harrie Steevens groeiden hier uit tot absolute toppers. Vooral Steevens bezorgde de ploeg een van haar grootste successen door in 1968 de Amstel Gold Race te winnen. Het was het bewijs dat Caballero zich kon meten met de internationale top.

De Tour de France en de reclamewet (1970)
Het jaar 1970 was een mijlpaal. De ploeg mocht deelnemen aan de 57e Tour de France. Vanwege de steeds strengere Franse reclameregels voor tabak, werd de naam voor de gelegenheid veranderd in Caballero-Laurens. Laurens was een ander merk van dezelfde fabrikant, een slimme manier om de regels te omzeilen.

De ploeg verscheen aan de start met een team van tien renners, zoals toen gebruikelijk was. De selectie bestond uit: Henk Benjamins, Leo Duyndam, Huub Harings, Arie den Hartog, Cees Rentmeester, Wim Scheepers, Harrie Steevens, Gerard Vianen, Adrie Wouters en Cees Zoontjens. Hoewel een etappezege uitbleef, toonde de ploeg zich met aanvallend rijden aan de wereld.

Goudsmit-Hoff (1971-1972)
Ook in Nederland werd de reclame voor tabaksproducten aan banden gelegd. Begin jaren '70 zorgde de nieuwe Tabakswet ervoor dat de naam Caballero niet langer op het shirt mocht prijken. De ploeg moest van naam veranderen en ging de laatste twee seizoenen door het leven als Goudsmit-Hoff, de naam van de behangfabriek Goudsmit-Hoff uit Rijen. De ploeg kwam onder de leiding van de memorabele ploegleider en oud-wielrenner Kees Pellenaars ("de Pel").

Onder deze naam werden nog mooie successen geboekt. Gerard Vianen won in 1971 een etappe in de Tour de France en schreef een jaar later Gent-Wevelgem op zijn naam. Eind 1972 viel echter, na elf bewogen jaren, definitief het doek voor een van de meest memorabele ploegen uit de Nederlandse wielerhistorie.

Let op Europese maatvoering! De wielershirts van Gruppo Sportivo hanteren de normale Europese maatvoering. Zie maattabel voor de afmetingen.

Excellent sound and function
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
We're very pleased with this unit. We use a 3.1 system in our TV area, stereo plus center channel and subwoofer. It's nice that this unit supports that. We get very nice imaging from this, and don't really miss the surround speakers. **We had to replace the old HDMI cables with new ones that could handle the larger bandwidth of 4K. If you're cables are 5-10 years old like ours, newer cables are required to carry a modern video signal. We like the Yamaha sound, and are able to EQ it easily to sound right for the room. I've used several receivers over the years of various brands. Yamaha consistently delivers good sound and reliable product. I've never had a Yamaha product fail and fewer than 15 years. There are other units out there with more gadgets and gizmos, bills and whistles, not to mention smoke and mirrors. We want a good sounding reliable unit that plays nice with all of our AV sources and TVs. If that's what you're looking for, look no further than this unit right here. If you get a good price on this, it's unbeatable. Sony, Onkyo, Denon, Marantz, etc. - they all make good units with signature sounds. If you aren't familiar with them, and If you can't listen to a bunch of stuff, buy this with confidence. Here's an unsolicited recommendation: high quality speakers will do more to improve your listening experience than any receiver. If you're looking for an upgrade, start with your front speakers.

Love my Yamahas
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
RX 385 replaces my much-loved 10 year old RX 375, which I inadvertently fried while experimenting. The 385 has some newer features, including bluetooth. The old model and this both use the handy YPAO function to tune the audio speakers' depth of field to the listening environment. It's a broadcast mic that you just plug into the front of the receiver for a few seconds to determine each speakers' distance from viewer. Kind of a sonic echo measurement of seating to speaker. It's a foolproof, remarkably clever, timesaving gizmo. The YPAO mic is absolutely included with this unit, looks like a little plastic cone. Also important to me, Yamaha has replaced the old spring clips for rear/side speakers, which are now the better screw and cap posts, as they have always been for the two front speakers. I recommend rocketfish HDMI 4k/8k cables to connect this receiver to your tv and to whatever other components you want, such as a bluray. Sound quality is excellent if your speakers are good. (I like KEFs.) Of course you may prefer wireless speakers, but I'm already committed to wired ones. I used rocktfish banana plugs to connect my speaker wires to the RX 385 receiver's speaker posts. Neat and clean. With a choice of 2 front, 2 rear, 1 center speaker, plus one coaxial plug in for a subwoofer, your movies and programs are going to sound far more detailed and staged than you'd get from the tv or a sound bar. It's a more immersive and compelling experience. (I use only 2 fronts and 2 rears and don't feel I'm missing anything.) Yamaha receivers and other components are my favorites: relatively inexpensive, well designed, solidly built, and not fussy to install. If you find yourself in a pickle there are a couple of helpful youtube videos. I find with the RX385 again that Yamaha does not disappoint me.

real time and energy saver, as well as $
Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads
If you have a set of LED lights that didn't come with a harness , you can't beat this for the price. By the time you figure in the cost of the parts ( wire, switch, crimps/connectors, not to mention a relay if you are using one) to hardwire a set of lights, let alone the time to assemble, this set up is cheaper by far. harness length is ample, you get a pair of pigtails with connectors for a pair of lights, the relay, switch, fuse block and fuse, and ring terminals for power all assembled for what a switch and some wire would cost. Made everything quick, cheap, and easy.

Great wiring harness for light installations.
Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads, Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads
This is a great wiring harness for LED lights. These come in one or two leads application. All that means is that they come ready for one or two lights, depending on your installation. The plug in connectors for each light comes with the set so that is a plus. I’ve attached a picture of the plug/connector for the lights so you can take a look at them. Although the relay is an “overkill” for low wattage LEDs, it’s OK to have it just in case you decide to change your lights for larger ones or halogens, in the future. In my case I will be using this harness in my motorcycle. It is very long for my need, which is great for cars, but too long for motorcycles since you have to remember that room/space is scarce in motorcycles. I ended up cutting the wires to my desired length and using heat shrink butt connectors and “glued” heat shrink covers for waterproofing the connection points. All in all these are great quality and I am very happy with them.
