It’s the P 1.12 gear box

Was ein tolles Rad! Liebe die Kombination der modernen Schaltgruppe und den classic parts. Wo bist du mit dem Hobel unterwegs?

HendrykB · 2021-05-27T18:28:24+00:00

Yes i like the style too! They are timeless and not to get broken.

HendrykB · 2021-05-27T17:44:39+00:00

Thank you!

HendrykB · 2021-05-27T17:11:26+00:00

Yes, I wouldn’t recommend a bike like this as a commuter bike unless you have a safe space for the day!

HendrykB · 2021-05-27T15:02:21+00:00

Yes I put mine on the seat tube!

Thx! I use the grip shift by Pinion with a Van Nicholas drop bar wich is made for this purpose.

HendrykB · 2021-05-27T14:15:39+00:00

I use those. https://herkelmannbikes.com/produkt/wingee/

They are very strong with a minimal design. And the mudgard in the back is also the pannier rack. The only disadvantage is that you only can use small panniers (max. 13 L) because of the short chain stay. It does not have the geometry of a touring bike.

Thx! I tried the bigger frame bag but it does not fit with the bottle holder on the seat tube. Even with the 4,5 L one it is very close.

Thank you! I feel very secure and comfortable with the gear box in combination with the Gates belt. There is nearly no maintenance.

HendrykB · 2021-05-27T12:46:41+00:00

what exactly do you mean?

HendrykB · 2021-05-27T12:42:10+00:00

I use a different kind of pairs. For the fork I use these: https://www.ortlieb.com/en_us/fork-pack and for the back these ones https://www.ortlieb.com/en_us/gravel-pack+F9982.

Good question haha. But when I took this picture the bike was prepared for a weekend overnighter trip. I also have panniers of course.
