After discussing German bikes on another forum, it occurred to me that there is very little info in english about German bikes exported to other countries.

We're probably all familiar with Puch (which is Austrian though) but most of the time when a re-brand shows up nobody has the faintest idea what company actually made it.

What little I've looked into so far seems to suggest that Kalkhoff was one of the bigger suppliers to the U.S. from Germany, they were also one of the few German companies to sell bikes in the U.S. under their own brand name instead of under house brands.

Additionally would anybody like to share pics of their German bicycle?
