Hi guys,
I wanted to share a part the goodies from the Dutch mountainbike museum in Arnhem the Netherlands.
It has 800 bikes and growing.

All images have been collectively resized so let me know if there is anything wrong or you want the original large picture for more detail :thumbsup:

Thank you so much for posting these, I really appreciate it as I'm sure a lot of us do!
I wish I could see @MattiThundrrr 's face when he sees this posting!

Thank You!

In answer to your question...my fave is either one of the Yetis

Thanks Bart that's an insanely awesome collection. I'd love to peruse through the "library" section! Favorite? Impossible to say, there's too much to look at. But I did pick a couple that caught my eye, and the wall of wacky suspension designs is amazing! This Merlin is something special, you don't see many frames like this in immaculately executed titanium:

And I was loving this curvy frame before I noticed the front wheel drive system!

You'd need a minute, took me a long time to get through it all. I'll be sharing this thread elsewhere, my amigos in Europe will enjoy it too
They cut a Cannondale frame in half. The long ways! :41:
If asked why, the reply would surely be, "Because we can."
Maybe they didn't cut it, maybe it cracked in half

Oh good eye, I did'nt notice it being titanium! I thought it looked great, just a little large tubing diametres for my liking.
 
They need this one too! Have any additional contact info?

I have a soft spot for the Nederlands. Ik heb daar gewwont whenner Ikm was six and 20 jarren oud. https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/2wd.120129/
Very nice! Where did you live? Did you visit the Netherlands for studies?

You you don't I've seen the face he's probably making and we'll makes everyone in the room a little uncomfortable
I wonder about the sound he was making :rofl:
 
So I am in contact with the owner of this museum. Great guy, lots of enthusiasm like me (great energy combination!) and he got excited about a Klunker bike for a ride and his museum, so I'm thinking about building/donating one for him. If I start, I'll make a build thread here.

If your side wants to arrange shipping and the 2WD BWA is free to the museum.
