For Sale: Peka

Offering PEKA roadbike

Very nice competion bicycle from the 1960s.

PEKA was an Amsterdam brand of fine competion level frames. They were particularly famous for their Stayer frames. In 1982 Rene Kos raced his PEKA Stayer to the Stayer-worldtitle. Peter Serier and Klaas Kwantes are two famous master builders who built for PEKA.

Around 1980 this frame was prepared for an older rider of a team that had PEKA as material supplier. The rider liked his own frame, so he insisted to use it in competition. Under the team livery there is a frame that could be from several Dutch masters, like RIH, Joco or Nieuwenhoff, but I haven't been able to determine what builder. Apart from the team livery the later modifications include several braze ons, for example on downtube for shifters and on toptube for brake cables. Moreover the shift cables are nicely guided through slots under the bottom bracket, while this previously was done with a clamp on item. The modifications are done in a typical Peter Serier way.

The component specs are very functional pragmatic. Typical Dutch. Everything is overhauled. Rear wheel recently rebuild with new chromed spokes. The bike is excellent for l'eroica kind of events. The PEKA was my rider last summer and if it doesn't sell it will probably be for upcoming spring.

Nice touch: the wheels are labelled Peperkamp. PEKA's are the bikes, Peperkamp was the shop.

Packaging will be done with utmost care. I will use foam tubing for the frame and everything will go well padded in a sturdy bike box.

lovely location for a photo shoot i presume that is a river with weed on rather than green tarmac ?

Lovely, reminds me that there is a season called summer.

dicki, its the former, but I know from experience that some Japanese tourists tend to think that you can walk on it.

Same location, other season, other bike

actually. i have vivid memories as a kid of once jumping into a small pond filled with weed thinking it was "solid" and would make a nice banging sound like the green felt covered tubkindofthings we had in the local diy store. i still very much see the resemblance. the horror of finding out it indeed was a pond, filled with plants and all scary things has made a life long impression. i think i was 4 or so at the time, i do not remember anything else from then besides that pond and my dad coming to dredge me out of it laughing like crazy. i apparently also stunk like hell and was driven home in the trunk for a shower.. that also added to the trauma probably..

Thanks for the kind comments on my pics.

Anyone who would like to buy it and adore it in the flesh?

Lovely bike, lovely pictures, lovely spot.
Where is that exactly? New tag thread?

Realy love the frame, so if you can split .... please give me a shout. I'm located in Holland too.

Mel is an experiences offroad rider, too, so he has to bring the Peka to Amerongen on April 7...

I have a Batavus Professional cyclo cross bike for that purpose. I have prepared it so I could come, but atm I am not sure whether I will make it. I learnt riding off road on mountainbikes around 1990. I started with vintage bikes around the millenium. Initially mountainbikes and a couple years later roadbikes. I will be organising a vintage mountainbike event on 5/6/7/8 september near Arnhem, NL.

Wow, i'm not the only freak on this thread.......... Ofcourse i realy like to welcome the Bat Pro. Does Dutch Cheese bring a bike too?

Vintage mountainbike's.... lovely! Unfortunately my wife has limited the number of bikes so i only have a 1992 Marin with Campy Euclid group. Love to see you all in Amerongen on April 7.
