Hi!

My name is Andreas Bengtsson and i am a bicycle collector from Sweden. Just the other day, while googling i came across this site and was surprised hom many old swedish bicycles you have in Estonia!

I mainly collect swedish bikes from 1900-1940, especially Nymans made bikes (Crescent, Hermes, Drott, Vega and many more) from the 1935-1940 period, because i think that during this period the most beutiful high quality bikes were made.

I would love to hear from you regarding pictures and info, how many swedish brands were sold in Estonia? Are there many preserved? It seems like many of them were equipped with stainless steel fenders and rims, or in some cases chromed ones. This were pretty rare i Sweden, the standard types were painted.

Would be nice if you can write in english, when translating this forum via Google, it just dont make very good sense..
I´ll attach pics of some of my bikes, hope to hear from some of you soon!
