Is it just Me or is the Kettler Strato Alu Rad ahead of its time, the more i research the more i realise that there is so little info out there. 1982 with All Aluminum frame 9kg all in, the frame is welded at the bottom bracket all the other joints are hot epoxy, the three main tubes are...

Re: been offered £350 from a local bike dealer/shop so if i could get a bit more i would be happy. such a great bike just wish it was bigger.

Re: Bike shop offered £350 so if i can get a bit over that i would be happy. wish it was smaller as its a lovely bike.

think it was all part of keeping the Strato as light and aerodinamic as posible. I don't think it got recognised for innovation that it brought. Cable through frame, aero aluminium frame and aero componants. Just wish it was smaller.

Re: Yes seat post is too low or legs are too short. Seat post is Shimano 600 aero design too. If I was 6"1 I could put the seat where it should be. Did you notice the frame tubing shape, also aero. Rumour has it to keep things streamlined The Germans would ride them nude.

Just fitted a new Continental giro on the rear but a big garage bill for my camper van means that the Strato has to go, would do great in Erotica Britannia and i bet it would be the only one there. This bike really was ahesd of its time, aero tubing, aero components, Nitto Aero bars Aluminum...

Kettler Alu-rad No you right it is Aluminum don't know why I said steel. Took it out for a ride today and and is a really cool bike for one of 30 odd years. Just wish it was smaller. I don't really have much idea on retro bikes but I did see one the same sold for £900. To be honest I would just...

I am recovering from a serious operation and Cycling may help. I corently have a Kettler Strato Alu-Rad but its too big for me. Im 5.10 (long body short legs.) Any advice on what bike would suit me. Needs to look cool as it will spend most days on display connected to the Tacx, would like to get...

I have just come across this Kettler Alu Rad Strato.  Sadly its tooo big for me, (im 5ft 9 with short legs)think I would need a smaller frame. I got it with the idea of getting into retro biking, takes me back to a champagne colored Raligh Racer I had in 1983. Mum and Dad got it from Halfords...
