Storck bikes are the German uber-brand of cycling. The tech is fantastic, the bikes combine comfort and stiffness and are award winners everywhere they are ridden.

In the parallel world of cycling, many MB drivers would pine for a Storck.

Let's just appreciate the machine ...

Very, very nice, Dura-Ace as well, i dread to think how much that cost.

About eight pounds...
 
When are you going to fit the whicker basket to the handlebars ?
 
Very nice. How much can you do a rear remote control [non ei] shock for a Lapierre Zesty TR 429 for & how much for the whole bike....??

I've just had a look on their website.

Their clearance bikes are north of £5000.

I think I will stick with my racing bike, cost £36 in 1966, a lot of money then, nearly 3 months wages.

Grober - look in the mirror.

We do great bikes at £400 to £600 too. I just thought I would share some German hardcore bike porn...

We regularly restore old classics back to original - am doing a Paletti and a Peugeot at the moment...
 
RKC-benz Apologies if some pics have been up somewhere and I missed them... but I remember reading that you were planning to modify your 124 to make it look like a retro classic cycle team car and rolling ad for your business.

Did you ever do that? I'd love to see it!

I bought a road-bike last week and rode out for the first time in about 20 years and it got me thinking about your plans. I have 3 sons under 5 so my S124 is likely going to look like a toys-r-us delivery van for the next few years.
