I spent a bit of time klunking through Franconia at the weekend.

A signpost showing the important things....the beer gardens and pubs nearby....and further afield

Cheers!

Almost, it's a 3 speed with drums.
I would say the brakes are as good as some standart Cantis but feel a little softer. Something like a rear Canti on a frame that is a little flexi and has no brake booster. I could adjust the cables a little tighter but I like it and I can get the rear wheel to skid and nearly go otb with two fingers.
When it's wet and muddy I'd say they are better than Cantis.
But they are also much more heavy.

Was a birthday present from a friend who makes them from old eggbeaters.

I have a friend who is 'in love' with eggbeaters. sure he will see it in horror.

Better than throwing them away I guess.
And now I can clip in and won't slip off the pedal while opening a cold one
