1996...ish Market Bike

Well, sure, but typically shopping bikes are dowdy affairs selected for their load carrying capacity and lack of desirability to thieves. That bike looks very desirable to me.

Here, that still passes for not desirable... It has no motor, too small wheels, no drop bar, is not made of carbon and there is no well-known brand on it.

Thieves are not so picky in my town.

Right, I had actually forgotten to mention the fuel.
It was these two here:

Wulle is a "Helles" and has a more mild taste, Urstoff is a "Pils" and tastes a little more bitter and hoppy.

Lovely build, I like working bikes.

Nicely done!

The headbadge view pic is excellent, shows how this new paintjob emphasises the frames qualities.
I like this frame, what is that originally? A Gekko?

I don't really know, it had Kenia written on it...
It's a simple Hi-ten Frame, quite heavy.
I made a little fun of it though....

It says: made in Stuttgart from hi-ten steel tubing, for sexy legs
