iab Your bike, the 1915 Rola, is incredible really and is exactly what I’ve been drooling over lately. I found your post on it as well. If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you pay you friend for this one? Do you heavily source most of your collection from over seas such as eBay France?
I take it if you did want to fiddle around town with these, you slap on aluminum clinchers or something similar close to the era?
brewerkz Didn’t even think of that. The amount of abandoned bikes due to men leaving to fight must’ve left thousands to be snagged up.
Here is a Jean Thomann for around 1300.00. I’ve been told many of times that the price is up to the eye of the beholder.
