Unheard of bikes.

Went to a museum in Krakow, a converted ols tram station.
Lots of other stuff to see but the bikes were a bit special for me.
Never heard of majority of them.
Heres a sample.
Should have noted what they were, my bad.
The car is a Fiat.

I did wonder especially with the bracket on the mudguard for the little front light
Perhaps an early import

Some possibly built under licence as there are MZ and NSU machines there.

The bike in the last pic has a DKW 125 engine which in 1948 became the engine for the very successful BSA Bantam when DKW was taken by the British government as part of war reparations. BSA redrew it in a mirror image so that the gear lever was on the correct side for U.K. riders. Thousands of Bantams used by Post Office telegram boys.
