Does he know what it is?
Never new the make of that one, although its probably dutch.
Its a proper bitsa, the rear chain stay stands and fork standers were made by me and added to the frame, as was the coaster brake bracket. I welded em on then painted it green (it was chrome)
Then it was just built up from random bits (skyways, haro tyres etc)

Cool. It rode good, nice n light and super smooth. Frame looked super spindley though so it never saw any 'action'. Also, skyways flex like mad with an 11 stone adult on the bike |

 me is want my thread back cool in green it be also! i had mine in work the last couple of days and me and a mate have worked on it when given a free moment. it now has the bearings in the steerer replaced, new nuts holding the re-tapped threads on, a new 3 piece crankset and i've added a couple of extra pegs for the craic, as I'm never gonna ride it anyway... forks are 'patina' (rust) coloured, mags updated with odyssey barefeet tyres and schwalbe tubes which I'm certain were too small but inflated nicely anyhow. meh... almost ready to go roof-rack bound... |

i had one of those frames with the bend in downtube but without the platform and a euro BB. on one occasion i bent the forks to a total right angle to the head tube. then on onother occasion the headtube decided it did not want to play ball and tried to part company. as did the chainstays. i also bent the dropouts because they were paper thin.
to sum up - they were a bit curse word for heavy riding! altouugh they rode much better than a burner
