Hello from Groningen
Hello everyone,
Second time trying, first post deleted for a picture of my bike (thought I'd share, didn't work)
I'm Aleksandar, 22, a Bulgarian student in Groningen and an increasingly proud owner of a vintage Clipper. I have no idea where the brand originates and haven't seen others. It came to us from a frient who asked my dad to sell it for him. For context, my dad is a mechanic and I always turn to him first for questions. Then when my study in the NL was a fact we remembered the Clipper stored in the garage and thought I'd be perfect for Dutch bike lanes.
Recently I've been getting into modifying the bike for practical and aesthetic purposes but also just for fun. As it seems it'll be a hobby for the forseeable future, and as I have some troubles I need help with, I thought a forum would be nice.
Looking forward to interacting with everyone.
All the best,
Alex
