Theres a lot from Japan. French bikes abound. USA yes I know of a few. Italian, absolutely. What about Germany? Did Germany make any 80s road bikes? If not, why not?

There were a lot of companies making bikes in Germany in the 80s. Technobull is my favorite. https://classicrendezvous.com/countr...ny/technobull/
Radius made awesome recumbants, I have a Peer Gynt.
Not many German bikes were imported into the US
