Thanks a bunch guys. It has something military-like indeed, I couldn't tell though what country.. It is a great ride, seems to suit me perfectly. A few changes will come over time. A black stem and bar is definitely an option to conside. Or else I'll change the seatpost to something silver... Only time will tell.

I looked long and hard for those Ummagummas because I really wanted them. They go together so nicely with the green and the shaded/faded colours. I found them seperately in the bay, one from the US and one from Germany (that one was pretty dirty on the sides)
@mikede:
Sorry mate, your questions are a little too cryptic for me, can you spell that out? It does have a road cassette as a matter of fact. HG-50, 7speed 13-23. It will serve as a city racer, too. The rear hub is designed for 8speed but I just can't deal with the 8 speed shifters. Can't stand the gear display.
Cheers,
Holger
