hello from lower saxony

[ron_devous]

hi there!

my name is daniel, i'm 28y old and living in nw germany, in the city of osnabrueck (pop < 180.00).
because of getting a little bit chubby my girlfriend forced me to buy a bicycle this year's march. :lol:
i started with a cheap nn cruiser on ebay and soon i took a first look on bike forum's and discovered that there's a living and fast growing cruiserbike- scene in germany. in between 2 days i was totally infected by the bike-virus and i decided to spend my rare money on a real cool bike. now i'm a proud owner of a nirve chopper ('07 switchblade, glossy black).
this is the best bike i ever had! but there's a problem, too.. bringing out 60 pounds of steel just for buying croissants around the corner is getting on my nerves. :lol: actually i'm looking for a nice old bike with a soul to do that croissant- job. and this forum is a pure source of inspiration! :wink:

here are 2 pics, a little funny one of me and one of my bike:

Welcome Daniel!

That Switchblade is awesome. I'm not a big chopper fan, but there has always been something about that particular bike that I have really loved.

And um...as far as the shorts go....no comment. :lol:

You are in good company here my friend. :wink:

 

[ron_devous]

thank you, mr rat rod, sir!

the switchblade was not my love at first sight, but the more i'm loving it now. i've just bought 2 weeks ago and my wallet is empty, but i got evil plans with it.. :lol: (next step: new handlebar and alloy grips by marcel danek/hartkore parts; there's an interview in the new br&K issue with that guy)
but i also need a more simple bike, which needs a big portion of style, too. so i decided to create my own rat during the winter months.
to grab one of this antique schwinns or something equal is pretty difficult in germany. so i think i'll have to buy a classic 1950's NSU or a nn-cruiser on ebay again.
