its definitly NOT made in germany. frames are made in china, parts most likely in taiwan. i also own an 8bar V4 and i must say, i am not very convinced about the quality at all!
the paint job is absuletly miserable, i was just leaning it to a pole and a huge paintchip came off.
the front part of the stem doesnt fit to the rest, my left lever is getting loose all the time, the tension off the wheel was really bad, the tires are absolut crap ( 2 punctures in the first week), the axle of the pedals are not straight, so i had to change them.
chain and seat stays of the frame are not straight, its impossible to center the wheel in there!

also i had alot troubles before, eventhought i didnt had the bike!
max from 8bar told me it will be shipped in two weeks, but it got shipped after 7 weeks.
i dont know whats their strategy, but its not about keeping customers.
i think its more like this touristy restaurants, locals would never go, from the outside the look nice, then they sell you expensive but really ****ty food because they think youŽll never come back anyway
my advice to you, buy something else.
i just sold mine and i am happy the nightmare is over, eventhough i lost some money.
