Found in my local classifieds...

[Titiritero]

And now, another "funky" BMW. The owner claims it´s a Q5 model (that sounds more like Audi ;-), and it's also folding, but there are no pictures with the bike folded unfortunately. The drivetrain is an electric Nexus, I used to have it on a folding bike. It worked good enough for commuting, mine had only 4 gears, it came probably in the mid-90s. Selling for 120€

And now, the German version of the Manitou FS...!! 129€

Winora Screamer was not the only copy of the Manitou / Marin FRS concept.


Balance


Anlen

Eternity


There was even a Titan version, also no-name but quality wise a bit better than Winora and other cheap bikes out of Taiwan.
This should be a prototype from ABT (another german brand for cheap bike parts)

damn ugly, and that should had even BMW have realized before they started to let this produce in year 2000.
Indeed called Q5.T (although Audi had at this time already a Q5 model)



The MTB variant, "Q6" with Telelever fork looks a bit better, still nothing I would be very pride of


but hey, you can put it in the boot space of your BMW


Same like for the two older generations of BMW bikes:

1994 "Active", obviously based on Montague bikes


and 1996 on BMW "Super Tech" with Telelever

Time now for a mini-velo, a Daewoo Shuttle going for 60€

 

[Titiritero]

A new one for me. I'd never seen something like this before. Whoever wants the performance of rim brakes with the complexity of hydraulic systems, look no further, here is the hydraulic v-brake!! Going for 70€. They look like a Magura but it says they're not...

And for people in denial that refuse to get an MTB (or want to commute in total comfort), the ugliest hybrid in the world. Price is fair at 110€

Wendler Power Brakes, sold also as Starbrake MT2




An interesting thing, and benefiting from the amplified power and modulation of the hydraulic system (vs. pure hand power)

Just this brake never turned completely mature, certainly not as stress-less as using an Magura HS, which does work often for decades once set-up correctly.

Wendler was also showing shifters and derailleurs using a hydraulic system, but those things never went into serial production.
