How about showing us all some you are keeping unseen?
The Dutch loop-frame is a case in point.
I love the loop-framed cycles.
They just look right.
Bicycles breed in my garage at night. Everytime I go in there I keep finding more of them
The Dutch 'Holfa' was owned by the same family from new and when a younger member of that family immigrated here to NZ they brought the old bicycle with them. His wife was a teacher in Holland and she told me how she used to ride this bicycle 32 kms everyday to and from the school where she was teaching. The bike is well worn, but apart from the wheel rims it's very sound. Being stored in a fertilizer shed in its retirement hasn't done the wheels a lot of good unfortunately, but to my surprise the Dutch tyres still hold air.
Love your bike roseskunk. Looks a lot like this one of mine from the 70s
