Hello from Germany!

Hi all, i´m a Brit, based in Germany. I´ve got 3 bikes which are my main users, and a small collection of racing bikes, late 70´s through to late 80´s or so. I´m very keen to get my tools out but now and again it does get a bit too "emotional" !! Hoping some of you more experienced people can help when it gets that way, and maybe I can add some of my findings!!!!

What’s the availability of vintage lightweights from 70/80s of German manufacture? I need a nice one.

I´m currently riding a Pegasus Solero trekking for daily commute and weekends, and my "fun" bikes are a GT Timberline mountain bike and a Raleigh Mustang gravel bike. All are fairly entry level but suit me well. I´ll have to put a list together of my "collection" which has been getting neglected, boxed up or covered over in the top of the house.
