I just got this bike from a work colleague. She's going back to Singapore and found out I fix and donate bikes for the refugees here in Germany, so she gave me her bike for donation. I only had to do minimal maintenance and replace the worn out chain.
Most significant on the bike is the nearly complete Sachs 5000, including the grip-shift style shifter with locking switch (otherwise it was relatively easy to change gear unintentionally). The cantilever brakes are bulky but work fine. The rear derailleur looks a bit square for today's standards.
Sachs was based in Schweinfurt, Germany, and was taken over by the SRAM holding quite a while ago. The factory is still there, producing mostly their hub gears.
