>>1728292since many 90s mtb were posted in the Vintage bike thread, i post this here.
just picked up a NSU Sport Bicycle from 1961 for 80€.
Haven't taken any pictures jet but pic is the same bike i have.
Its really well build, thin tubing lugged, chrome still in great condition, paint great for its age love the hand painted decals. Dynamo and Lights still work.
its not that heavy either. Wheels have "quick release" wing nuts. Mine has a single speed rear hub but it was also available in 3 speed. bottom bracket and hub have oil nipples since the chain is well oiled the bearings should be in good condition either.
its not worth as much as the pre war models but its not going to depreciate in value either i think i am going to put a nice basket or crate on the back and use it as around town bike for dry days in the summer.
next spring im going to give it a little overhaul clean and oil everything, spray the tubes with some Fluidfilm then i am going to post some pictures.
NSU was once Germany's biggest bike producer, and made bikes from 1886-1963, later they focused on making cars and merged with Auto union, now there known as Audi. So this was made in the same plant that is now building Audi A5-A8. After 63 the brand was sold to ZEG and slapped on various Chinese BSO Bikes.
