Bakri,
That’s a great looking old bike though I’m not sure it’s a transportfiets. It looks more like a city bike with an unusual kruisframe. In any case Maxwell was an Amsterdam company that built excellent bikes; mostly heavy-duty transport bikes and trikes.
I actually own the only Maxwell bikes I’ve seen that are not transport models. It is my understanding that they were owned by the family of the owners and I purchased them from an elderly colleague. The bikes I have probably date from the 1950’s but your bike looks much older.
thank you , mr. Henry .
from information at place this bike i got that this bike was owned by ministry of farm owned by dutch , its on 1920-1925 and this bike was give to indonesian when JAPAN go to indonesian at 1942 .
Originally , this bike has front luggage rack like on maxwell brochure on http://www.transportfiets.net/2009/03/07/prijscourant-maxwell-1939/ .
thanks for the comment .
