sarolea

i drove a few 100 kilometers this week to get hold of a picture of my grandfather and his bike. it is a Sarolea 500, and was a badass bike in the 1920ies… it was belgian made and it even drove 80km/hour! my grandmother sold the bike in 1939 for 100belgian francs, about 2.5 euros now…
 
the stories my grandfather told me about this bike are so numerous i cannot write them down here.
 
i know that there is one sarolea 500 in the hands of “le musee du circuit” in Stavelot.
