English introduction to MrVelo page
Dear Friends, this is my first article in english. Excuse me, because my english is not so bad. My only serious promise for new year is to write also some articles here in english.
Old bikes has been my hobby since 2000. After that I have managed to collect about 40 bikes, few of them You can find from gallery. I have a repro hi-wheeler which is made in Finland with seven brave men. Bikes brand is “Reijonlainen” and the name is honor to project manager Reijo Lehtone, who was father of this building process. I have also three complete bikes from 1895-1905 and one old frame most propably from 1800’s where there is seams in the tubes.
I do like also custom bikes and I have been following rise of that hobby in Finland too. I would like to see more activities and co-operation between different bicyclist groups. I had one bike in the x-treme car show together with lowriders and choppers.
Some of the bikes has recycled to other fellows who can offer them good home, some of them has traded against parts and some even against cash.
There is few I would like to get more information like this English style bike.
In my Links I have chosen limited amount of links I feel interested. these can be changed, so if You found something interesting from there pls save it for yourself.
