Der Krusty Kraut

[highwheelerboy25]

got this from a guy not far from the shop after a regular customer told me "That guy down the road has a banana seat bicycle in his yard.". Made in West Germany, it's an Almart Department Store bicycle. I plan to assemble, add necessities, and ride it. nothing too fancy or complicated.

after picking it up and putting a front wheel, tube, and tire on.

shifter installed but not connected to hub.

cables, housing installed and shifting tweaked. new brake pads and a super rare (sarcasm) 1993 huffy headlight

Chainguard is a cut-down from another 26" german bike.

Everything is clear coated and the only other thing I'd like to do is take the hubs and headset and crankset apart and clean and repack them.

I was digging this one in your Fresh Find post. That shifter is perfect. I really like the twin double tubes too.

Glad you went ahead and found a shifter for the bike...

that 3 speed hub would be useless without it!

Bottom bracket and headset have been overhauled. Hubs are still to be done.
I also put an extra shiny pretty rear reflector on it.
