Subject: [CR]Seeking Information on J A Holland Bicycles

Hello all,

I have a line on a J A Holland tourer. The seller notes that it is built from 531 tubing, and I can see from the pictures that it has a moderately relaxed geometry, and some rather nice looking lugs. I have searched the archives, and could only find a passing mention of this builder in an exchange involving Mick Butler from March of 2004. Sorting through all the mentions of "Holland" (aka the Netherlands), is a bit of a complicating factor. Lou's wonderful guide has no details either, which leads me to presume that this was a small builder and somewhat obscure.

I am eager to hear whatever recollections list members might have about the builder and/or the marque, and am hoping that someone might have a site dedicated to it.

Thanks in advance,
