Fangio Bicycles – A Concise History
Fangio bicycles were a Belgian brand founded in the late 1970s by former professional cyclist Guido Reybrouck. Despite the distinctly Italian-sounding name, the company was rooted in Belgium and reflected a common practice of the era: blending continental styling with local production and distribution. The name “Fangio” came from Reybrouck’s son, who later took over the business in the 1990s.
Fangio quickly established a presence in professional cycling through its sponsored team, active from 1979 into the mid-1980s. The team achieved notable victories in European races. The biggest victories achieved on a Fangio bike are the Tour of Ireland in 1980 by Dave
Cuming, Le Samyn in 1983 by Jacques van Meer, Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne in 1985 by
William Tackaert, the Bremen Six Days in 1985 by Gary Wiggins (indeed the father of
Bradley Wiggins) and Nokere Koerse by Luc Colijn in 1986.
Although not among the top-tier dominant teams, Fangio maintained credibility within the professional peloton and later evolved into the ADR team, which would gain prominence in the late 1980s.
Unlike major Italian marques, Fangio was not a dedicated frame builder. Instead, it operated primarily as a brand, sourcing frames from various European manufacturers. Early high-end models were often rebranded Italian ALAN aluminium frames, while mid-range bicycles typically used steel tubing such as Vitus, Reynolds, or Columbus, produced by contract builders in Belgium or Italy. As a result, the construction quality and origin of Fangio frames varied significantly depending on the model and year.
Fangio bicycles are identifiable by their distinctive branding, including pantograph details and period-specific decals.
