I do not remember Koga or Batavus using internal cable routing,.
we also had a few small custom brands like rafty that used Alu and build the frames hardcore stiff

Was he the same Fuchs who made wheels for Porsche ?

I only ask because the Fox / Fuchs logo on the chainstay of these bikes is similar to the logo that is hidden on the back of genuine Porsche Fuchs wheels. I've been buying and selling old Porsche wheels for about 20 years and never knew they also made bikes

Heinz Fuch worked at Porsche before he built his race cars. But Fuchs wheels is another company.
