Von Sven’s new ride …new from 52!
This fine ride was handed down by local collector of Vintage Racing Bicycles, Carlos. As the previous owner upgraded to a 1956 model in Mint condition!
Here are some specs on the set up…
model: Crescent 201-202
tubeset: krommolybdenstål
Stem: Titan
Handle Bar: Sylvere Maes-Kint
Front changer/derailleur: Simplex Competition
Rear changer/derailleur: Huret (France)
Hubs: FB Brevete (Italy)
Saddle: Brooks B-17

Some changes may be made, for example new bar tape, toe clips and dow the line possibly a set of competition wheels Sew ups rather then the current clinchers (which are original for training)

But really as you can see there is really not much to do but get out and ride the thing !

Bilsport Custom Motor show, Elmia 2010

Curbside Times — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:59:38 +0000

The main attraction of this years show was the appearance of chip foose, Along with D´Agostino and the display of the late Boyd Cunningham’s last build.
Although the Custom art section was absent this year. That did hinder a fine selection of pinstripers from laying some wet paint to rest under the spotlights of the Elmia convention center, Jönköping, Sweden.
