Schöner Lack! GLWS!

That's beautiful, wish I had that money.
My partner owns one of these frames.
It came with 600 arabesque groupset and is made out of tange prestige tubing.
A little less posh, with a simple colour-way.
Never saw another one of these before this thread.
I was trying to find any information about the builder but the only thing I figured was that it was a small workshop in Amsterdam back in the day.
Do you happen to know more by any chance, or have anything to read?
The one we have rides like a dream btw, very lively and lightweight.
Potential buyers - don't hesitate.

Hello @bed_bug.

Thanks for your comments. This one rides like a dream also. Lively, lightweight and with the least amount of 'road noise' on any bike i've ever ridden.

All the information i could find out has come from 2 sources which i will link. Apparently Brands was a small bike shop in the Javastraat in Amsterdam east and the frame builder was Peter Van de Klundert whos father was, i think, Jacques van de Klundert a professional bike racer.

Amazing, thanks for the info @jppegs!
Now knowing the name of the builder more search results show up.
Good luck with the sale!

I like the seatpost

Bump for this bike, which jppegs made me build outside in the cold then rode it once.

And I got a cold the week after too.

It's quite nice though, some good details.

Please, I’m trying to resist.

Hi. Looks great. I’m new to the forum and interested. Would like to come see the bike!

Hey @user102522.

Let me know either way if you are still interested or not? You have PM.

this still available?

Hello @asgreig.

Currently still available but am in discussions with '2nd dibs' about shipping the frame. I will let you know, either way, How it works out.
