Over 60 years, Phong has great passion for antique bikes collected from all regions of Vietnam and some were imported.

On the occasion of the Van Phuc silk village’s antique festival, Phong exhibited his bikes. A lot of people were very interested in these bikes.

"Before 1975, I had a bike from France, which was a fortune at that time," Phong recalled. After years of sticking to his bike, he was determined to buy more bikes. Whenever someone asks him about his unique vehicles, he excitedly introduces and explains to them.

The bikes manufactured from 1947 are currently priced about VND40 million ($2,000).

Phong spends a lot of time to clean and polish his bikes.

In addition to bikes, Phong has a mobylette. He refused to sell it for VND100 million ($5,000).

It was manufactured in 1950 and can run at a speed of 40-50 km/h.

He also collects spare parts.

“Thousands of US dollars can be very high for a bike but who understand the bikes know about their value. Sometimes you have a lot of money but you cannot buy the bikes you like,” he said.
