KLAUS ? the basic heavy duty bike ? THREE SPEED MAN'S BALLOONWhy does fear of bike theft make people buy trendy bikes for one season instead of bravely opting for a bike for life? The extravagant crown alone looks like it should be admired with awe ? as one would admire the radiator grill of some art deco legend. The value of the everyday experience is reflected in the things that inspire us to get from one place to another. Our BALLOON RACER "KLAUS" has been created for use in city traffic with precisely this in mind. Hang loose as you glide happily along the streets going about your everyday travels on 15 kg of solid energy.Serial colours for this model, rims and tires can be ordered in cream or blackRAL 1015 LIGHT IVORY (CREME) RAL 3012 BEIGE RED RAL 3009 OXIDE RED RAL 5014 DOVE BLUERAL 7008 KHAKI GREY (OLIVE)RAL 7030 STONE GREY RAL 9005 DEEP BLACKSpecificationsFrame, Fork CrMo-Steel (main tube set), hand-solderedFrame Height Women's 52 cm, Men's 56 cmHandlebar Bearing 1" RITCHEY Logic blackSaddle BROOKS B 67, leather core saddle, honey or blackSeat Post Patent post aluminium 300 mmCrank Set Aluminium SUGINO chainring 130 mm, 42 teeth with chainring guardChain KMC 1/2x3/32 silver/brownChainguard Powder-coated in frame colourPedals Aluminium with non-slip rubber surfaceBrakes Shimano Roller Brake, BR-IM 41Rims SCHOTTHORST-ST 32Tyres Schwalbe ?FAT FRANK? 26 x 2,35", creme or blackInner Tubes Schwalber Schrader-valve (car valve)Front End Steel 80/100 mm, 25°, powder-coated in frame colourHandlebar Steel 57/67 cm width, chrome-platedGrips Soft filament profile, skin-friendly TPEBell Brass-safety bell, chrome-platedBrake Lever Aluminium (silver-coloured coating) Dynamo BASTA-Turbo sidewall or Shimano hub dynamoFront Light Halogen AXA-T5 brass or B&M LUMOTEC-N Retro, chrome-platedRear Light Busch & Müller SECULITE plus, LED with parking light, chrome-platedMudguards Steel ? 65 mm galvanised, powder-coated in frame colourFender Straps Stainless steel

KLARA? the cool Mummy Racer ? THREE SPEED WOMEN'S BALLOONNot only dads, but streetwise mums too, want to be smart and sprightly. While our subtle drivetrain concept with its three-speed internal gear hub may not be the stuff of racing competition miracles, it certainly ensures a comfortable cycling speed for everyday use in the city. It is precisely for this reason that the Zurich Goldsprint Champion of 2006 uses her racy three-speed companion every day. Because the modern worldly-wise lady is not primarily interested in technical gimmicks such as hydraulic breaks or the ultimate gear selection, we have found appropriate solutions to keep maintenance requirements to a minimum. For the ideal BALLOON RACER pilot, the best is never enough ? though she feels she does not have to prove her stylishness through races and world trips. She chooses to exert her stylishness everyday ? in a way that's both understated and sprightly, be it with or without a kiddie seat.

PAUL? the gliding travel steed? SEVEN SPEED MAN'S RACERThis is no bike for quick "A to Bs", but one for gliding through scenic landscapes and upright appreciation of panoramic views. With its seven to eight state-of-the-art freewheel gears, it convinces without much ado and is ideally suited for medium distance tours. Even fully loaded you'll be gliding towards your destination with confidence. As everyone knows? those who are laughing at the finishing line are the ones who know the way ? even if the cycling holiday you take on "PAUL" is just the way to work.Serial colours for this model, rims and tires can be ordered in cream or blackRAL 1015 LIGHT IVORY (CREME) RAL 3012 BEIGE RED RAL 3009 OXIDE RED RAL 5014 DOVE BLUERAL 7008 KHAKI GREY (OLIVE)RAL 7030 STONE GREY RAL 9005 DEEP BLACKSpecificationsFrame, Fork CrMo-Steel (main tube set), hand-solderedFrame Height Women's 52 cm, Men's 56 cmHandlebar Bearing 1" RITCHEY Logic blackSaddle BROOKS B 67, leather core saddle, honey or blackSeat Post Patent post aluminium 300 mmCrank Set Aluminium SUGINO chainring 130 mm, 42 teeth with chainring guardChain KMC 1/2x3/32 silver/brownChainguard Powder-coated in frame colourPedals Aluminium with non-slip rubber surfaceBrakes Shimano Roller Brake, BR-IM 41Rims SCHOTTHORST-ST 32Tyres Schwalbe ?FAT FRANK? 26 x 2,35", creme or blackInner Tubes Schwalber Schrader-valve (car valve)Front End Steel 80/100 mm, 25°, powder-coated in frame colourHandlebar Steel 57/67 cm width, chrome-platedGrips Soft filament profile, skin-friendly TPEBell Brass-safety bell, chrome-platedBrake Lever Aluminium (silver-coloured coating) Dynamo BASTA-Turbo sidewall or Shimano hub dynamoFront Light Halogen AXA-T5 brass or B&M LUMOTEC-N Retro, chrome-platedRear Light Busch & Müller SECULITE plus, LED with parking light, chrome-platedMudguards Steel ? 65 mm galvanised, powder-coated in frame colourFender Straps Stainless steel

PAULA? the bike for the opera ? SEVEN SPEED WOMEN'S RACERTo the beautiful the biggest threat are the more beautiful and among the Balloon Racers this time-honoured duel is fought out in-house among peers: this lady makes the gents look very old, indeed. It's almost a shame that no mechanical fragrance function exists for bikes, yet that might inspire people to make a cycling parade to the opera. The women's racer offers a seat more comfortable than any opera chair, creating a confident sense of ease, be it on opera parquet or any other turf. The upright, active posture ensures optimum vision for surveying any scene. Handlebar, arm and shoulder form the full circle that subtly outlines the cyclist's space. Forceful thrusts from the road surface can be effectively absorbed by the steel frame ? smaller vibrations are transformed into a fabulously humming cycling sensation through the flexible fork and the voluminous tyres ? preventing tiring of the arms, even without an armrest.

MAX? a wolf in sheep?s clothing? LUXURY RACER?our MAX ? not one for the faint-hearted ? a veritable steel steed in "MUSCLE STYLE", as though specially made for the quarter-mile! This is tuning without horsepower and laughing gas!This is unadulterated muscle power paired with the finest Swiss understatement: reliable as a Swiss watch, this high-speed-drive cranks up the gear spectrum of a simple three speed hub to an extreme 477%. This spectacular "turbo bottom bracket", used serially for the first time here, corresponds to a gear ratio of 1.7 to 7.8 metres. With only six gears, this explosive drivetrain system equals that of a 24-speed-derailleur-gear system. This is how to achieve "being faster" in the simplest and most unobtrusive manner possible!Serial colours for this model, rims and tires can be ordered in cream or blackRAL 1015 LIGHT IVORY (CREME) RAL 3012 BEIGE RED RAL 3009 OXIDE RED RAL 5014 DOVE BLUERAL 7008 KHAKI GREY (OLIVE)RAL 7030 STONE GREY RAL 9005 DEEP BLACKSpecificationsFrame, Fork CrMo-Steel (main tube set), hand-solderedFrame Height Women's 52 cm, Men's 56 cmHandlebar Bearing 1" RITCHEY Logic blackSaddle BROOKS B 67, leather core saddle, honey or blackSeat Post Patent post aluminium 300 mmCrank Set Aluminium SUGINO chainring 130 mm, 42 teeth with chainring guardChain KMC 1/2x3/32 silver/brownChainguard Powder-coated in frame colourPedals Aluminium with non-slip rubber surfaceBrakes Shimano Roller Brake, BR-IM 41Rims SCHOTTHORST-ST 32Tyres Schwalbe ?FAT FRANK? 26 x 2,35", creme or blackInner Tubes Schwalber Schrader-valve (car valve)Front End Steel 80/100 mm, 25°, powder-coated in frame colourHandlebar Steel 57/67 cm width, chrome-platedGrips Soft filament profile, skin-friendly TPEBell Brass-safety bell, chrome-platedBrake Lever Aluminium (silver-coloured coating) Dynamo BASTA-Turbo sidewall or Shimano hub dynamoFront Light Halogen AXA-T5 brass or B&M LUMOTEC-N Retro, chrome-platedRear Light Busch & Müller SECULITE plus, LED with parking light, chrome-platedMudguards Steel ? 65 mm galvanised, powder-coated in frame colourFender Straps Stainless steel

MAXI? the bike for honeymoon travels ? LUXURY WOMEN'S RACERWhat has proven its worth luxuriously in our men's bike is certainly extravagant enough for our women's model. Though such an exquisitely aesthetic creation may not be designed for peak sporting performances, it will be reassuring for the worldly-wise lady to hear that it comes with similarly incomparable performance boosters. A lady's decision to commit to a bottom bracket drivetrain truly is a challenge to a life-long relationship. It is more than a coincidence that cycling book publisher Maxi Kutschera got to enjoy the outstanding luxury of our top model on her honeymoon trip as well as the attention of bystanders far and wide that comes along with it. Much like love itself, it was true stroke of luck that bike and bride be namesakes and added proof that the newly weds were fated to be sent on a maiden voyage on their honeymoon. Such a dream model inauguration is something ? much like love ? that money can't buy.
