Vintage bike from Holland Resto

I lucked out this morning and bought this vintage bike from Holland off of a scrapper. I got it cheap and am I excited to have this bike!!!! The bike is complete and just needs a lot of cleaning! Even came with the original bike frame pump, two rear panniers, rear wheel bike lock with key and also came with a vintage presta air pump in one of the panniers! What a find! I have had really good luck the past few weeks buying bicycles from junkers! Check out the rear splash guards and chain cover! They are perfect! With a little bit of cleaning this will be a very nice European bicycle! By the way...this bike is not for sale just in case someone is thinking about asking...:) Of course, I said that about my Raleigh right before I sold it for $1500 a few weeks back! :) Absolutely incredible find!

Great Find! That should bring in about $300 locally, but a lot more if you sell it in uptown. Powder coat it in gloss black and I don't see why you couldn't get 1k for it.

No need to powder coat...I cleaned it up today and the paint and finish is near perfect! :) Still has the glossy clear coat throughout. I looked the bike up and the going price is around $1200 without all accessories so I think this one would command more than that. I am hanging on to this one....:) I will post clean up pictures of the bike as soon as the rain stops. More pictures to come.....

How's it going on this project? I finally posted a blog with my roadster that I plan on restoring. Let me know if you come across any more of these types of bicycles as I can probably buy one off of you to use for parts in my restoration. Check out my latest blog entry and you'll see the bike I just got.
