Union mixte singlespeed

[LeonL]

Got this bike in a lot of parts from the scrapper, mainly wheels. But thought this bike was to nice to scrap. Fitted a new chain and it was ready to go. Even the lights worked.

Rode it a week and try to sell it but no intrest. So decided to make it singlespeed. Stripped it to bare frame an used some parts for a diffrent project.


It cleaned up pretty good and treated some rust.


A weird feature of 80s Dutch frames. Pressfit bottom bracket

Not much, I'm afraid. The Flamingo name was used by Union for many decades for some of their sportier models. I don't recall having seen this particular one before. Looks rather elegant.
