It looks to have been refurbished in the eighties, using some old parts, some of which *might* be original to the bike. Brakes and rear rack are from the early sixties. Chain guard is Belgian.
Haha, that's what they gonna say if my Germi ends up on Markplaats one day. Refubrished in the twenties.
According to
Klassiekeracefiets, d
e Weerd opened his shop in 1952. So, that should be the earliest. It is a bit of a mess, but who cares, it looks much better than any of the bikes I've ever got, they were all way messier.
