That Ideale appears to be a very nice bike. It has all of those Shimano parts on it, which is a plus in it's favor.

I have the RST Neon fork on my Crosstrail, although a different model (mine is hydraulic). It has worked flawlessly, so far ....

That Deore stuff is rugged, especially if you keep it clean and oiled.

Schwalbe tires are a big benefit.

It also appears to have plenty of room, and eyelets, for fenders and racks, a pair of Planet Bike Hardcore Hybrid Fenders (43mm wide internally) will fit nicely.

It looks like a very nice bike - I don't think they are sold in the US.
