Seedy Al Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 So scored this at a bike swap / sell the week before art deco weekend, and was hoping something liek this would turn up as I really wanted a period bike for that weekend. So what is it, Well Fuck, It says its a DCR, however I have failed to find any info, im guessing french or Italian, around 1930's givin the rod brakes etc Only thing I hate is someone has fuced with the rims and replaced the 28's for 26's, and makes it very hard for me to find 28 inch rims, so if you have some, i will like to buy thing is so plush tho, has rod brakes with Drums, 3 speed stermy, and a random bike lock thing at the back, which I found out works the day after I got it, and then discovered i couldnt undo it so had to cut it up a bit, so gutted but oh wells.... So some pics Drums bitch Rods bitch Lock bitch Stermy Bitch Material chain cover bitch's!!! And some badges Macking, plans, to get some rims, and ride the shit out of it Seedy Fucken Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldturkey Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yep, it is definately from holland, due to the spelling of the work Fabrikaat, if it was german it would be spelt Fabrikat. Fabrikaat - Meaning Fabricate/Manufacture There are some sick pushbikes in Holland, due to it being their primary mode of transportation for over 100 years (and still).

coldturkey Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Let me have a crack at translating... Oprichter Van Servellen(?)Oprichting 1905 Vestiging Rotterdam Opheffing 1982 De Centrale Rijwielhandel, A. van Servellen, Oppert 97, Rotterdam. In de jaren voor de 2e wereldoorlog was DCR gevestigd aan de Delftsevaart 37 en de Verlaatstraat 59. In de oorlogsjaren was het bedrijf niet in Rotterdam, maar in Den Haag gevestigd in de Nieuwe Molstraat 31. Na de oorlog keerde DCR terug naar Rotterdam op het adres Jensiusstraat 5. DCR monteerde vrij goede fietsen onder eigen naam en onder de handelsmerken "The Coursing Cycle" en "Ornatus". DCR was fietsenleverancier van de Rotterdamse politie en de gemeente (toen DCR zelf geen fietsen meer maakte, werden ze geassembleerd bij Cové, Blerick). DCR was enige jaren importeur van het Italiaanse merk Bianchi. Het pand aan de Jensiusstraat werd na het faillissement van DCR gekraakt. Het is het enige Rotterdamse kraakpand dat met enig machtsvertoon door de politie werd ontruimd om plaats te maken voor een bedrijfsverzamelgebouw. De frames kocht DCR vóór de 2e wereldoorlog bij Locomotief, later bij gespecialiseerde framebouwers zoals De Wilde, Volendam, en Van Raam, Amsterdam. Maker - Van Servellen Location - Rotterdam Years of Manufacture - 1905 - 1982 The Center Riding-Wheel-Handles comany, guy who made it, Address (Rotterdam). In the years before the second world war the address was this and then that. In the years after, it was moved to Rotterdam but also Den Haag. Then moved back to Rotterdam. DCR made pretty good bikes under the brand names "The Coursing Cycle" en "Ornatus". They were also the suppliers of Police bikes to the police and the golden(royals??). They also imported (or exported??) bikes to/from italy under the brand Bianchi. At the "Jensiusstraat" location they made the "Faillissement"??? type. It is the only rotterdam company that made "machtsvertoon"? for the police. The frames were bought by something, after 2nd world war, for Trains people, and later specialest frame/bike manufacturers "De Wilde" and "Van Raam". If any of that makes sense, my dutch is average to poor these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
