Of course, one has to like modern steel bikes when considering to buy one.<br /><br />The guy in the photo is not Jan van Daale, but John van Herwerden, the owner of the Herwerden bike shop. They still have their own brand "Herwerden", first made in the Netherlands, then moved to Casati in Italy and later moved back to the Netherlands again to be made by a frame builder called Jan van Daale. JvD made the Duell brand at this time and they agreed that John would take care of marketing and sales.<br /><br />(I hope I got this piece of Dutch cycling history correctly from the story of John).<br /><br />You will get a very unique bike with some degree of custom finish, a long history and don't forget, only 200 - 300 are nade each year.<br /><br />My knee is still all right. I hope it will also survive the Bremen Challenge race on Sunday.mobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740078823008165116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-25237409352642345672011-08-26T09:32:02.639+09:002011-08-26T09:32:02.639+09:00Very tasteful brown & white Duell Mr. Van Daal...Very tasteful brown & white Duell Mr. Van Daale (Jan - je fietsen ogen prachtig en rijden ongetwijfeld krachtig!) is holding there. <br /><br />Am thinking of ordering one through Hiroshi's dealership before I get too old to ride one of these machines.<br /><br />Michael, what happened to your knee...crashed again en route??the ups and downs of a belgian amateur cyclist in tokyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959055533465197463noreply@blogger.com
