Besides Gazelle, Joco, Union and Presto one can find really pretty and good lightweights in the Netherlands. One manufacturer of interest is Ko Zielemann, who learned the business from his father, who did his apprentinceship in 1923. Ko started a reasonable career as an amateur rider first and took over the shop of his father later.
With brand name spirit they produced transportation bicycles, but their family name got only the good stuff, that was build for special order only.Thus with Ko Zielemann you will get old craftmanship and high performance. Old riders told me that they called Zielemann the dutch Masi also.
Ko Zielemann ended his career as a framebuilder with very limited words and made an advert in the Bikers Revue: “ Ko stops, tools and bikes on sale”
Some times ago I´ve sourced this lovely frame
