Laurent Frieden's vintage racing bikes collection🏁🏆

[lukash]

Laurent Frieden is a dude who took me back to early mountainbike years with the help of his gorgeous collection of vintage racing bikes. Glad we had a chance to talk.

If you want to know his story, check this out: https://www.starykola.cz/blog/laurent-sberatel-mistrovskych-kol-en.html

Over the years I have transformed myself from a collector into an occasional (Czech) journalist. I try to capture the stories of people in our comunity. Hope you will be inspired.

Read it last night and really enjoyed it!

Hope to see more interviews for big and small name collectors in the future...

I write for the Czech MTB magazine Velo. If it's an interview with someone from abroad, I try to provide an English version.
In this case Laurent and his wife helped - btw how did you find the translation?

I got a great report from Mountainbike Museum in Arhem. But unfortunately without translation to EN (volunteers welcome!).

I also welcome tips on collectors and other interesting people from the community.

Thé EN translation appeared on my FB timeline from someone I follow.

I wish I had the time and language skills to help you with the translations. Perhaps using a tool like DeepL can cut some corners although it’s certain that will not produce miracles with the 1st translation draft.

Keep posting here your articles and I will try to translate them with DeepL

Thanx!
Yeah, DeepL is my first choice. But it needs to be fine tuned then.
No need to hurry. Sooner or later, I ll find some native speaker and move higher

Thanks @lukash!
Since our interview this summer much more happened and I'm getting more active in promoting and sharing the history of MTB Racing!
Many new projects, like this Yeti DH8 prototype (photo), a custom Troy Lee Designs painted Ultimate, 2 of Missy's Team Global bikes.. etc

Here's a link to an article from The Radavist about our first "VELO COSMOS - Bicycle Lifestyle, Art & History" event.
