Racing bike rental company in Belgium

Anyone know of a rental company of racing-style (as opposed to casual touring) bicycles? Interested in 5 - 6 days of road biking in Belgium this summer starting in BRUSSELS. Many thanks. EW

Check with ProVelo. Apparently they only rent city bikes but they may know where you can rent racing bikes.

It would surprise me, if ProVelo could offer you the more specialized bike you're looking for.
One of the main bicycle rental companies in Belgium is Het Verzet in Astene (Deinze) nearby Ghent. And they have also racing bikes!

Plum is one of the best in Ghent, but they do not rent bikes. Last time I saw a few second hand bikes for sale, but that's far from their core business.

For racing bicycle rental in Ghent:

PDG Bikestore, Baarledorpstraat 29, 9031 Gent (Baarle-Drongen)
http://pdgbikestore.be/nieuws/verhuur (Dutch)

For all kinds of bicycle rental in Ghent, but probably no racing bicycles:

De Stad Fietst = JomaSport, Koningin Fabiolalaan 7, 9000 Gent
Ebikes, city bikes, hybrids, ...

Biker, Steendam 16, 9000 Gent
http://www.bikerfietsen.net/
City bikes, Batavus, Sparta, ...

Café Stereo Type, Oude Scheldestraat 14, 9000 Gent
http://www.cafe-stereotype.be/ (Dutch, English)
Choppers, Cruisers, Tandems

De Ligfiets Gent, Lange Violettestraat 49, 9000 Gent
http://www.deligfiets.be (Dutch)
Only recumbent bikes
