Only this plate is left from my fathers bicycle. The old frame is thrown away many years ago. It wasn’t possible to repair the old brakes, bearings and forks …… at least not by a simple guy like me. It would be more like a restauration.

Hi, Wim!
My latest find is an EMPO HIGHWAY bicycle, made in 1958. It’s a rare piece here in Romania. I’m competely in love with it. I have to repair it (brakes, etc.), it’s not easy, but it’s my pleasure to do this 🙂
