Klassieke tweewieler beurs

I will be going there upcoming Sunday




Two pics (not by me) of last year's >>>






For you not going, I hope I will be able to snap some pics for you people

Ever worried that this Koga thing might have become an obsession?

Looks a good event, I'd like to go but it's a bit to far! Is it only Dutch bikes that are displayed or bikes from anywhere?

A bit like our own 'Classic Bicycle Display' on April 19 between Halifax and Bradford. This year its specialist subject is 'Yorkshire Frame Builders' - but we'll accept anything in general.

Hi Ned,

No, not only Dutch roadbikes! It is for roadbikes from all origins. I am really looking forward.

@lgf
Yes, of course I am obsessed. I am more or less obsessed by fine flawless Japanese and pragmatic Dutch bikes in general. Of course I am aware that, for example, the Italians made bikes with unmatched historical significance, but why being an orphanage for them while everybody else is already taking good care of them Love Masis, Cinellis & co none the less.

fair enough chap, fair enough...

Man i so wish i was going to that . That aero koga is drop dead gorgous. Elev12k will you be taking a camera? Would love to see some sublime Gazelles,Kogas etc if you get chance.

I will be going as well, so I will take some pics too. Tomorrow more....

Due to camera hassle most pics are messed up, but I got a few acceptable ones to give you an idea >>>


1951 JaBo (Jasper Bouma) trackbike. One of the show toppers if you ask me.



mint Masi Prestige with 50th anni. Another show topper.



Gazelle Champion Mondial 753 with -again- 50th anni



Concorde (TVT frame)



Peugeot PY10



Colnago. I think Colnago was the most represented of all brands.



Eddy Merckx



Olmo & Schauff. Underlaying chrome shines through topcoat - nice effect.


It was quite crowded with visitors and stands selling parts and frames. As it was held not very far from the German border, what is for a substantial part the reason why there were so many Germans attendants. One of them came with a beatifull OSI sports car (parked outside)

The brakes on the Koga (second picture from the top), are they the same as these:

If so, it looks as if you need a braze on specific frame? Good job I haven't put a bid in!

The ax brakes work with any standard frame. No special brazeons needed. Look great but imo are awful to set up well.
