I have an older Kalkhoff bike and am trying to find out some info about it. I e-mailed the company and they responded with a reply off "We don't have anything in our archives before 1990." I even sent the serial number and they can't help me, Where in the hell can I get some info about it?

First hand experience. Ride it and enjoy it!

I have and I do. I would just be interested in knowing age or anything else. Sorry about the post past I had just gone through another round of finding nothing. What I do know is that is a 3-speed, all steel, noisy and gets some curious looks from bystanders. When I get the cash , I will have the LBS give it a once over. I've nicknamed it "Der Panzer" for "the tank".

The components should have date codes (or even dates) on them. Check with the component manufacturers to see if they can help you date the components-- that will probably give you a likely year of manufacture. Keep us posted!

Does that stem look original? I associate that kind with newer rather than older bikes.

What's the obssesion to know its age? We building a museum or s'thing?
