Hey I think its nice.

How many gears did your bike have?

Claudius - from germany

Hi Claudius,
it mounts Shimano Nexus-7 (i.e. 7-gears); it's perhaps not at same level as Rohloff speedhub but it's precise enough and very well synchronized either while running or standstill.

Hmm and where you got these rear-panniers? I mean the leather-one, not the Vaude.

Die hier hat Ähnlichkeit ...

Leather bags seem to be exactly the ones of the link above.
Also the price seem to be very good.
Then, of course, on top of bags I've got some additional handcraft modification.

outsch, an aufa-spokebrake!
i had one but it was quite noisy and a waste of power.
a dymotec 6 is the better choice i think.

.... unfortunately ... I must agree 100%:
1. Yes, it's a real spokebrake
2. Yes, it's very noisy
3. Yes, it's a real waste of power
.... but, for this bicycle, I didn't have other option,

Perhaps you know the dymotec 12 ?

Ciao.

why do you need 12V?
for good light at little money get a dymotec 6 and a B&M iq fly. if you want more light try the B&M iq cyo.

i think there should be no problem to fit a state-of-the-art led-headlamp into your oldstyled one

for better efficiency get a wheel with a hub-integrated generator.

why do you need 12V?
Well, actually I don't need 12V, I just like better efficiency of 12V systems.

I don't like very much side bottle-type dynamos but, if I have no other chance ....

Yes, I'll investigate

I'd like this solution but it's not possible, both front and rear hubs are already "occupied" by Nexave Roller Brakes and Nexus-7 speed-hub

Awesome bike! Isn't a new model?

What you think about Phoenix Bicycle, i like to ride it.
