their first ever bicycle portrait together with the featured bicycle
This exhibition showcases the heritage of locally-built brands such as Alpina, Hansom, Du Toit, and Le Jeune from South Africans’ private collections. Bicycles built from authentic and historic building materials used before the 1980’s – the traditional steel frames (with the ‘feel of steel’) that South Africans are once again falling in love with.

Bicycles are tagged with labels that provide a bit of history about the bicycle
SAM allows creators to
have their own store-within-a-store that specifically shows of their work at
its best. It is the perfect setting to show off the obscure, collectable and
vintage brands within this collection.
