Kettler Strato Alu Rad

[markgilbert2969]

So i have a Kettler Strato Alu Rad "WHAT" i hear you ask, its a early 80s German built Racer. it has all Shimano 600 ax components (the beautiful aero ones) 28" Mavic rims. think it might have been one of the first Aluminum racers. bottom bracket is welded and the rest are glued into lugs. Any idea of value please.

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.

Take the bike shop's money. These are very common in Germany and often go for less than €100 in better shape than yours.

These maybe early aluminum (around 1984) but they were a lot heavier than the top steel frames of the period. More of a European quirk than a thoroughbred racer.
