Postgirot Open 1983

This is Part 3 of our series "Postgirot Open" where we will mainly show some memorabilia that we have found about this race. We would like to tell you anecdotes and stories about this race but unfortunately not much has been written about it. Anyway, not much as far as we know, but if you have some tips, feel free to tell us!

Anyway this is a postcard from 1983. Perhaps the race was gaining momentum and becoming more known at this time, because this post card is more worked through than the cards from the year before. Actually it is a small piece of art, really cool. Again, or still, frame mounted gear shifters and generally all old school style. The back of the post card simply tell us that Postgirot Open was the biggest bicycle race in Sweden. (Duh! Was there even any other stage races in Sweden?) The winner of the race was, as in 1982, Tommy Prim from Sweden.

Ride safe!
