1934 Fongers BB 65

Picture of the beautiful unrestored 1934 Fongers BB 65 (framesize 68 cm !) of Jos Rietveld. (as found, the vertical rod for the back-brake is missing)

The Fongers BB-type was one of the most expensive Dutch bicycles people could buy in Holland those days.

They were made from ~1901 - 1960, only in details made a bit more modern. Fongers was very conservative, they made "old fashion", but very high quality bicycles, made with great care.

 

These Fongers were the "Golden Sunbeam's" of Holland !
