1908 Fongers DB 50
Look at this bicycle at "all sizes" and see the beautiful details of these beautiful made "machines", Fongers were always made by order, the factory made exactly the bicycle the customer wanted !
In my collection is a 1908 Fongers BB60 that is actually used for 100 years and it is still in good condition, they were absolute top-class bicycles.
This was the most expensive Fongers (and bicycle) you could buy in Holland in those years.
It had bowden braking with cables through the handlebar, 3-speed Sturmey Archer hub, Fongers Hygienic saddle, celluloid chaincase, and like all Dutch bicycles the first 50 years of the past century, 28x1 1/2 inch wheels.
Chain was adjustable by the exentric bracket, fixet positioned backwheel.
Picture came out of a recently discovered crate from the old Fongers-factory filled with glass negatives.
What you see is also a picture made from the 1908 glas-negative.
