Fahrrad
Postvelo 1961
|
Hello,
here is the portrait of the Condor ost-bicycle. this type was built in
the 1950s and 1960s. It was used to deliver the daily post by the postman.
Sometimes they pulled also a trailer. These bicycles were replaced by little
motorcycles until the 1990s. They have a backpedalling brake in the back
and a one speed gear. The wheels measure 28''. The picture "Fahrrad Postvelo"
shows my Condor post cycle from 1961. It sadly was destroyed in an accident
about half a year ago. Now I am restoring one of the same type from 1957.
This one will be like new afterwards! |

This
picture of a "Fahrrad Postvelo" shows also a Condor machine of the same
type. It was built in 1959 and belonged to one of my friends grandfather
who was a postman in Bern. Usually every postman had his personal bicycle.
In the background you see Lenzburg, the town where I live.
