Video: Roche 1987 bike thrown off Blarney Castle to test new product
Stephen Roche has allowed his 1987 bike to be thrown off the top of Blarney Castle to test a new bike product.
Stephen Roche is one of the classiest riders to have ever graced the sport of cycling.
And his bikes were always some of the finest on the road.
He had, however, a particular affinity to the Italian-built Battaglin bike made with Columbus SLX steel, Delta brakes and a stunning chrome finish.
It carried him to victory in the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and World Championships in 1987.
