Bergmeister ‘Basket case’

After many years looking,searching and longing for a Victoria ‘Bergmeister’ I am now the owner of what really can be described as a ‘Basket Bergmeister’ It appeared on German Ebay.I quickly got in touch with the seller who fortunately spoke English,A deal was made, Which meant i was to drive a total off 900 miles to Weisbaden and back in a weekend.Nowdays van hire,ferry crossing and deisal fuel cost can account for another £500.So through the next coming months i hope to show a restoration of the ‘Bergmeister’ like the one i did in http://www.berniesbikeshed.wordpress.com for another Richard kuchen design on the Hoffmann ‘Gouverneur’
