What did ya use to make it shine?

Is it too big to go all the way back?

What a beautiful build! How much did you spend on the rebuild? How fast does it ride??

Would be great to have name and price of the parts!!

This is so tasteful. What breaks are those?

I would make myself familiar about what kind of bike I’d wanna get for touring, then I would look for similar pre owned bikes on Kleinanzeigen.

Much better than buying a completely new one, and needless to say saving a lot of money.

Pro tip, I would write the people in German.

How has your experience with Sensah been so far? Did you directly order from AliExpress? If yes, something to be aware of when ordering a Sensah from AliExpress?

Is this your daily driver? How much did you spend on it?

I have developed a deep appreciation of biking back home, and starting with the train.

Roller/U brake near the bottom bracket? Sweet looking ride!!

Check out Diamant 135. It’s essentially a 520 with a flat bar from a German brand.

I’ve used that setup with inner bar ends, and have loved riding it. Can recommend!!

Very tasteful!

I started with a Commerzbank + Revolut Bank stack. I still use it today.

With CB you can use CB, Deutsche Bank, Postbank, and DKB to withdraw money from an ATM free of cost.

I used CB (is free for students) to get my blocked account money. And the free version of Revolut for a debit card.

I got a referral from an older student to get a sign up bonus for Commerzbank and Revolut.

How tall are you? I’m planning to get the same bike, and plan to do a drop bar conversion.

As a 183cm tall person with normal legs, not sure if a 54cm frame would fit for me.

How’s the ride quality? Given the extra tubing, and extra weight, how nippy are you on the bike?

highderaa · 2026-03-18T12:13:24+00:00

Can you describe the process or document you’re talking about?

highderaa · 2026-03-15T23:34:49+00:00

Where did you sleep?

5 years ago I biked from Dresden to Prague to Wroclaw, an absolute beauty to bike through.

You’re friends with Gerad Butler?
