Readers wives: I'm currently back in the netherlands for a few weeks and needed a bike to get around town. So I built a beater/frankenbike with parts from the bike graveyard that is the basement of my former student house. Most of the junk bikes there are broken omafiets but I found a passable Gazelle opafiets/light-touring frame. It's a bit large for me but still rideable. Luckily I got a wheelset from a friend who had bought a bike with a spare wheelset and had no use for the second pair of wheels. I soon noticed that the original forks were slightly bent due to what was probably a head-on crash. Luckily I found a pair of old chromeforks in the parts bin. Photos are in reverse chronological order. Last one shows the bike how i found it in the basement.
