About

Legend has it that the Vintage Bicycle Wiki came into existence when a member of the bravest of all Gauls, a Belgian fellow who goes by the internet handle tinstructor, fell into a cauldron filled with Facebook Marketplace posts and (frankly, way too expensive) eBay offerings. From the day he bought his first vintage bicycle, a yellow Lexpres from 1987 with Columbus SL tubing and a matching Campagnolo Victory groupset, he has allegedly never missed a vintage bicycle swap meet within a range of 30 kilometers around the city of Antwerp (which is quite the distance in the Flanders region, where everyone knows what's up).
