I hope most of you guys will be able to read this. Two top notch German evergreens:

NÃ¶ll M6 and Juchem FS, BIKE Oct94

Evergreens, because NÃ¶ll and Juchem still have them in their line ups.
NÃ¶ll: http://www.noell-fahrradbau.de/
Juchem: http://www.juchem-bike.de/

As I not really like the componentry on the bikes pictured on the NÃ¶ll site, I scanned a page from the 1995 BIKE Markt that pleases me more:

I in particularly like the white-blue on top and the FB clear coated one. Clear coated and FB is sexy!:

I also have a much more recent review covering -again- the NÃ¶ll M6 and an awesome Wiesmann Koxinga. I remember the Koxinga, though steel, had a spectacular weight to stiffness ratio.

Sophisticated and an interesting bar/stem combo: MÃ¼sing Cazuela

Consider: You built a very fine frame, you finish it with powdercoating, you apply protective material against rocks and you use stainless steel bolts for the fished product - all top notch. Finally you equip it with some TransX and Tektro stuff.... I never understood. If I had ever bought one first thing I would do is to get rid of those parts!

There still is a MÃ¼sing in business, but that MÃ¼sing has not much to do with the old MÃ¼sing. New MÃ¼sing: http://www.muesing-bikes.de/

Woah! Ive never even heard of these. Learn something new every day eh...

I like the Klein Mission control style stem combo!

Excellent scans Elev12k. I'm slightly ashamed to say I wasn't ever aware of these German brands, in fact the only German makes I can remember are 'Wheeler' and 'Bike-Tech'.
I especially like the look of the Noll steel frames.
Der Jan is looking young (and lean) in that Musing catalogue.

I would like to learn more...

..on Brittish top notch manufacturers. I know Chas Roberts and David Yates, but are there more? BTW Yates still around? Websites?

Roberts and Yates are (in the main) custom builders. The only decent UK high end brand I can think of off the top of my head is Pace (and maybe Raleigh and Saracen in days gone by). Of course there are many smaller builders like Whyte, On One (debateable), Cotic etc etc.

Dave Yates is still going having recently left M Steels on Tyneside where he was based.

Roberts is still going strong and still taking orders for Dogs Bolx.

Thanx! I couldn't find the Yates site and Cotic is new to me.

More Juchem and NÃ¶ll content I stumbled upon when going through my vintage BIKE issue's:

Juchem Custom Light

NÃ¶ll M3 - Nowadays the 'cheap ass' modell (..) in the line up, back then there also was a M2.
