You live in the Land of Tesch. Maybe another one will come up. If you study the specs/geo the Tesch is closer to a track bike than a road bike with short wheelbase, short chainstays, steep seat tube and head tube angles and higher bottom bracket. Super stiff and over-built by traditional road bike standards. The forks are massive. Not a great bike for riding a century on rough roads but a beast to hammer on and dive through turns. "Built for Speed" as DT wrote on his bikes.
