@IrrsinnHilft Ich hatte einen Onkel in Heilbronn der so ziemlich alle Fahrräder der Radsportgemeinde Heilbronn und Land montiert und gewartet hat. Der hat mir immer die neuesten und besten Teile verbaut. Also für meine Verhältnisse. Ich bin in der Saison viele Rennen gefahren. Das ging nicht mit Klapprad.
