hi Daryl,only just joined the forums,so hence my late reply,I first came across Clemenso mavic in the 1982 Bristol Bradford,I always thought they were Belgian based.seems to me the squad was mostly comprised of aussies including the Sutton brothers and Wayne Hildred,there were about twenty on the squad including about five Belgians and a couple of Dutch riders they only were in sponsorship for 1982.as far as i know this was Shane Suttons first team.before he scaled great hieghts with the likes of ANC and Raliegh Banana. I think they were Aussie registered but Belgium based,purely for kermesses,and with Gary Sutton riding the six day circuit
