RE: Old-School Dutch Bike in Berlin - My Dear Scholly!

Head fin sounds cool. Cars used to have hood ornaments, also called mascots. It's sad they aren't a thing anymore.. maybe Jaguar still uses them. Mercedez dithed the classic arrow. That makes me think, is that bicycle 70's or way older?

Esit: the brand Sparta started in 1917! Holy shit. We gotta find about that bike.

Hahaha, I know, man! I've been doing searches like crazy, and I even found a couple of bikes that look almost like mine. But nothing definite. But the 70's sound pretty correct. I mean, it's brown. Everything used to be brown in the 70's. And beige, and orange, and ocher, with a dash of red and yellow mixed in.

Yeah, and ships used to have a figurehead under the bowsprit!
