Riding home today I was passed by a cyclist on what I thought was a Rawland Nordavinden. I pulled up to check it out and it was a J.P. Weigle single speed. I talked with Daniel, the owner, who stopped so I could take pictures of his bike. Here it is.
Daniel and his J.P. Weigle:
It's a lovely bike. It was rebuilt by Weigle as a path racer (you tell me what that is). He made a new fork and spacers so it could accommodate a modern stem. It has great lines and the fenders are installed perfectly. The paint shows a couple of chips but the bike is otherwise in pristine condition. Daniel's usual commuter is in for repairs so he had this one out on a day I would take my Surly but wouldn't take my IF.
Check out the eyelets for the front rack holding the bag. It's very clean and has great utility. I love Weigle's pump pegs. It's old school but that's my aesthetics.
And my Surly. I can't even match my panniers.
