Staiger opinions?
Hey guys!
First post in a while, I'm a Chicago resident now! And I've brought my Miyata museum with me!
But that's neither here nor their right now, I need opinions on this German old timer.

Going to look at it this weekend, anything I should be looking for? I bet it weighs at least 30 pounds, look at those brutal lugs!
I've been bike commuting exclusively in Chicago and I like the idea of the generator lighting, fenders, all the reflectors, mirror, already on it.
Is it something I could use fairly regularly or are these bikes anchors? Anyone have any info? I don't believe Staiger were ever sold in the US...
Anyone have a similar build? Are those tire generators durable?
Any info would be great!
