Today's Ride

[The History Man]

Ok, as i was kindly informed by @The History Man ,i am supposed to flood this thread with my content.
So today's ride is:

Xmas Special Edition.

Nothing really special, just some 25 kms around the block or so. Weather was exceptionally lovely.
It's the best decision under any circumstances to leave the house.

I could enjoy our great road quality.

They are quite massive. Zippers too. Were loaded several times with Aldi's finest goods.
Haberland, a German brand. Tried to stay more or less period correct.
The previous ones were the real thing, but they failed after a year when once i gave the bike to someone to use.

With original saddle and tires, lamps and mudguards

Nice working bike

Thanks. Rides surprisingly good. Only needed 1.75 tires. Was meant to be the cheapest possible world tourer. Only modification is a little change in the angle of the handlebar, which resulted in a lower riding position with more weight on the front, and better steering, now it's suitable for terrain...

Never let anyone ride your bike, they will mess it up

Absolutely agree, but what if that person is the older son of my GF?
