No. You always refer to your excellent bike as a 200 EUR (400 DM) bike from Real, which is quite irrelevant these days.
I like your bike, personally. I think it's a great purchase, however, I think referring to a purchase price in DM is pretty lame (especially when you make the 2:1 conversion which didn't hold true in the end).
It's would be like me quoting $2:£1 ratio.
My reference isn't weird at all ... maybe you had a knock-off brand but you did post pictures of your bike with a sweet (seriously!) child seat ...

maybe you left Europe before the Römer Jockey became the
de facto standard in rear child seats?
like I said, I like your bike, I love the rear child seat ... I hate how you dump on my bike and refer to DM and a 2:1 conversion to EUR when discussing bikes.
