This bike even has the original pump, bell, tires, skimpy 70's lock and even the shields to protect your coat seem to be the ones original to the bike.
i know from when I had a flat tire that it is practically impossible to find any bike with a pump mounted to it in Amsterdam these days so I will remove i and keep it at home to save it. I just don't want to perform the experiment to see how long it will last on the bike here.
I did notice your precaution
and the fact that it wasn't locked
I got an old Zefal pump laying aroung somewhere for that experiment and you won't have to carry a co2 inflator when you take it for a spin.
Are the lights still working btw? And that forkcrown is something else!
