This one is a Stollenwerk from Aachen. Build ca. 1967.

that is a nice bicycle. Do you have any more specifications on the parts and tubing?

I think the tubing is something simple, no stickers. The fork seems not original, looks like someone changed the original one into a Bauer fork. Originally it was equipped with an old Huret Allvit Deralleur, I changed that for a Nuovo Gran Sport, because I rode the RetroRonde in Flandern with that bike & wanted to climb all hills. This was also the reason I used the Gipiemme/Mavic wheels with a 14 to 28 casette. The crankset is a Magistroni with 48/50. The brakes are original, old Weinmann. The bikes rides smooth, it's the oldest I own. Usually I wanted to ride that in Gaiole this year, but now I choose the Rickert.

As I read that some of you are interested in Express-Bicycles, I could add that they were produced in Neumarkt/Bavaria, where I lived for 13 years (and my parents still live). There are also two museums for this brand there. So if anyone has specific questions about an Express bike, I might be able to help with the research.

This bike is the subject of a couple other posts. I don't know if it's German-made (70mm bb shell says probably not, I think), but it's at least built with German steel and has Durkopp "Eisenmann" cranks, so I'll put it here too:

Thank you. I couldn't make it to flanders this year, sadly, and Tuscany is fully booked . Will you be riding this bike in thorn the 18th?

1) east german Diamant 2) Enik 3) Heidelmann 4) Heidelmann 5) Scharrer

No, because I finished the Rickert just 2 weeks ago I will ride that one. I have to do some changes on the Rickert, so Thorn will be the test ride for L'Eroica. They offer 100 more places for € 100,- each to build a school in Bucina Faso. Brillant idea.

Since I've seen Rickert mentioned here and there in this thread I thought I'd chime in. Hugo Rickert was ordered to cease and desist from using the name RIC on his frames and so he had to change to using his full last name, Rickert. But he did build a few RICs in the year and a half before the trade mark infringement lawsuit. I have one of these RIC frames, not in the best of shape but I haven't wanted to repaint it as it is an extremely rare and beautiful even in its current state. The pictures in the attached link are as the bike now stands. I've built it up as a rider with whatever was handy in my workshop but one can still see the beauty in the details. The pin-striping was done by Hugo Rickert's wife in the kitchen table, as I've been told by an eyewitness. I'm also including pictures of a Rickert track bicycle, this one belongs to a friend of mine in japan and was photographed at my house while in transit.

Bauer is another German brand that made some high-end bikes.

The trackbike is beautiful. We had a few rickert and some more interesting trackbikes at our Klassikerausfahrt Velodrome Day last sunday. You'll find some pictures here, more will come within the next days.

Here you see a very nice german Lauer track bike, rides wonderful.

Hi there, im new to the forum, i've been trying to identify my bike frame for a few months... the most close i got from a hint, by the thompson bottom bracket (40mm threadless), is suppose that its a german frame. it also has old style simplex drop-outs, that on a web site i could identify the drop-out as made during the 60's.




Can anyone help me with any info about it ?

Thanks in advance,
Lalas

Interesting thread. I have a 1950s german made bauer cruiser I've been trying to find info on. Seems they were imported to the states but aren't many floating around now.

This company?

I thought that I had shown my German bike but a look through this thread proved to me I didn't. Anyway, my 1958 Rabeneick 120d which is now a bare frame, stripped of paint and waiting for new paint and art...

I have old Jaekel road bike.
It is very hard to explore something more about brand. I sent e-mail to them, but they said nothing.
I am hope to find someone here who ride Jaekel.

I built up a 1969 Schmidt, with offset right rear dropout,... built by Leonhard Schmidt of Koln/Cologne, Germany. The offset dropout allows a rear wheel to be built without dish.

Hello, my mother has a 1950s bike made in west germany for the american market. Its a Werke Torpedo. I can find very little info on this bike. It has a beautiful winged wheel fender ornament. Its pretty close to mint condition-its missing the chain gaurd. I contacted the American Bicycle Museum in Ohio and they want pictures taken of the bike and sent to them. I'm doing that today. They never heard of it either.

In post #93, I showed my 1958 Rabeneick 120d, commonly referred to as the "Modell Campagnolo". Here it is, restored and good to go...

Has Mifa been mentioned?
