NEUTRA HOUSE - RAISED FROM THE DEAD !
BEFORE IT WAS RESTORED THERE WERE MANY WHO THOUGHT IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.
EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS BY THE LIKES OF RESTORER ERIC LAMMERS, A COMMITTED OWNER WITH DEEP POCKETS AND OTHERS - THIS SPECTACULAR EXPAMPLE OF NEUTRA'S TRANSITION FROM THE PRE-WAR INTERNATIONAL STYLE TO HIS MORE DISTINCTIVE AND ORIGINAL MATURE WORK IS A HOUSE AGAIN.
GOOD WORK

THE ZIMMERMAN
NOW HERE IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T SEE EVERYDAY. A "ZIMMERMAN". CLEARLY HAND BUILT STEEL FRAME BIKE.
NOW HERE IS THE QUESTION. ON SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FRAME I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE A BUNCH OF OLD-SCHOOL RETRO CAMPY HARDWARE.
THIS EXTRMELEY RARE FRAME HAS BEEN KITTED WITH STATE OF THE ART MODERN GEAR. SACRILEGE? OR RESPECT FOR THE WHAT THIS KIND OF FRAME CAN DO?
HARD TO SAY BUT A REAL BEAUTY IN ANY CASE.
