| Ladies and Gentlemen, I hereby proudly present: THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE GREATEST THERE CAN BE: | |
|
|
Jolly Jumper I know, it's not the one that carries Lucky Luke into the sunset, but then again, I am not Lucky Luke either. Nor am I riding into the sunset, but rather into the sunrise. However, this red miracle fabricated by Aarios is hopefully going to carry me as loyal and safely towards Tibet, as its namesake its cowboy into the Wild West.

|
Still nameless...
Although my bicycle blinks to me each morning with its rear lamp and looks sadly after me whenever I leave the house without it, I still haven't found a proper name for it. But I am sure, that this name will grow with each kilometer ridden and am already lookin forward to presenting it to you guys. |
|
Following you will find a few details and originalities of our bicycles... |
|
|
Wonderfully fabricated details, which end in a frame geometry that spoils the eye and the driving comfort, as well as raising the desire for riding on and on and on... |
|
|
For the changing of gears we rely on a high performance gearhub with 14 gears fabricated by Rohloff. These gearhubs are robust, almost not to be killed and convince with a pleasant gearing. |
|
| This item will probably bother my bum for the next year or so... But I hope ( and I am pretty much convinced about it), that this Brooks leather saddle will always adjust itself as good as it does so far and will leave as less hurting spots as possible. |  |
|
What there is to add is, that both bicycles are equipped with Tubus carriers and hub dynamos. Ah yes, and we ride with cycling shoes with clickers and still argue whether it's functionality or aestetics that makes a great handlebar...
A great invention are the great bottle cages for 1.5 L bottles.

|
| Well there we go, at last... somehow the true Jolly Jumper made it onto my bicycle so it can always have a watchfull eye ahead of things while we are on the road. |  |
