Chris Willemse Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 This is myown Eddy Merckx which I used for many years. Unfortunatly I nearly lost it one evening after Johny Koen had a tv interview with me for one of his programs. I left it outside under the Lapa which burned down later that evening. Luckily for me the EM was not completely destroyed. I am not repairing it but leave it as is.

Chris Willemse Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 Is this the same Johny Koen who has a cycling shop in Hartenbos?No. The Johny Koen I am talking about is a former Springbok cycles and owner of Velotex.
Barry_W Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 006.jpg This Lejeune is actually an Peugeot 531 road bike that will soon be restored in its original colours. Fitted with campac. Take note already in the 70"s the cyclist were weight conscious. The seat pillar was drilled full of holes , front blade removed and no front changer and lever. Fantastic Bikes, thanks for sharing.What is the story behind this bike? How did it end up painted as a Lejeune?
Chris Willemse Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 Fantastic Bikes, thanks for sharing.What is the story behind this bike? How did it end up painted as a Lejeune?The person whos bike it was got a sponsor from someone but had to be on a Lejeune. He then only resprayed his bikes and put Lejeune stickes on it but I am going restore it to its origanal state soon again. Many more bikes coming your way.

Chris Willemse Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Ek oorweeg dit sterk en is seker dat dit die een of ander tyd sal gebeur.
