Van Hauwaert 3 speed - not your typical sports
I am considering selling my unusual Van Hauwaert sports 3 speed. I have no idea what the value or interest in this bike could be.
Features
- wooden rims
- rod activated sturmey archer drum brakes, front and rear!
- internal 3 speed hub
- nickel plated fork with triangular blades.
- van Hauwaert branded components, pedals, headset, crank. Very cool.
This bike was completely overhauled in 2012 and documented here. It’s been ridden very little since then and has been stored indoors.

What? That is a weird thing to say. I re-read the original thread from when I got it. I think it was actually built sometime post war. The builder was likely Van Hauwaert, but Frans Meulen probably repainted it. Check out the thread, a great BF member @non-fixie even got the historical society of Hoensbroek involved!
