Vereniging De Oude Fiets

Hello,

My name is eric, I am french and I am living in the paris city area (50 kms).

I am fond of dutch bicycles and I have for the moment, repared 6 of them.
Since a few days I own a gazelle 8 framenumber 868894. It is in exeptionnaly good condition for its age.

My other favorite is a trimsport serial GL510239. I don't know the building year but I use it everyday to go to work.

I have repaired recently an omafiets for my wife. the frame size is 54 and it has been very difficult to find this frame size here.

As I don't speak Dutch, I use google for translation and, even if it is sometime fun, it works pretty well.

Hope to have pleasure to see your comments and read your posts.

Bonne journée

Eric

Vous êtes le bienvenu Eric!

Amitié, Sandra

A warm welcome to another Gazelle enthousiast.
Your Gazelle no 8 dates from the early fifties and it would be nice to see some pictures here, or maybe a link to your picture collection, elsewere on the internet.

Hello,

thank you for your kind welcome.
Here is a link to picasa. You will find some pictures of my model 8 and of my trimsport.

Have a good day

Eric

Wonderful Eric!

Eric,
Bienvenue!
Si tu as le temps, mets quelques fotos de tes différentes bicyclettes. Supposant qu'il y a peu de chances que tu viennes en vélo aux Pays Bas, ça nous fera quand même plaisir de de voir ces Gazelles .

Si Google Translate ne fonctionne pas suffisamment bien, tu peux m'envoyer un mail à tdebruin [aroba] gmx [point] net, si tu n'es pas trop pressé je peux traduire dans un sens ou l'autre.


Ciao,

Hello and thank you for your answer;

In fact, we have friends in holland and we are used to come for a few days in your country. For example we were in amsterdam and groningen last week.

I hope to meet the members of the forum one of this days if you organize a meeting and have the pleasure to cycle among all the jewels that are presented in the forum.

Finally Holland it is not so far away from paris. The distance approximatively the same than Paris- bordeaux where my familly lives.

Thank you for the proposition of translation. It will be helpfull for technical purpose.

A good day to all of you

eric
