Dear Pieter van der ham, I am very interested if you really write a book about the simplex, as in Indonesia, thousands of bicycle enthusiasts simplex literacy still short of its history. We just received the bike from the colonial era, but not with education and history. Can you contact me at retropolizt@gmail.com

I’m writing a book on the whole production of Simplex. It will feature not only the bicycles, but also the motorbicycles, automobiles and railway rolling stock. I have restored a Simplex 1920 railcar and will restore a 1907 one as well. I know that of the automobiles a lot went to Indonesia by the beginning of the 20th century. Untill now not a single Simplex automobile is found anywhere in the world. I expect that somewhere hidden in today’s Indonesia there might be Simplex automobile left? Who has an idea?

Wow, your bikes are beautiful. Even though your Simplex bikes were made in a factory less than a kilometer from my house we never get to see such perfect original bikes like those. It’s also really fun to see them in photos with tropical backgrounds – such a strange contrast!

Thanks for the link! I’ll add a link from this blog.

Hello, how I are you today? Well, I am the one who loves Simplex very much, especially Simplex Cycloide with so many specific items. Simplex Cycloide is very rare and only some of my friends have it. You may see some of my collection in Multiply under the name of Bang Madi Site.
