Fahrrad Manfaktur T-50 Roadster Nexus 7

The T-50 Roadster Nexus 7 by VSF Fahrrad Manufaktur (literally "bike maker") is a no-nonsense work of German innovation that bridges the gap between artistry and scientific precision. While the T-50 takes after many European city bikes, offering comfort and prioritizing smoothness, this one is built to handle more than just flat, short-distances. Though the position can still be considered upright, it leans over just touch (especially on the Roadster frame) which allows a more efficient power transfer between your legs and your bike so that the T-50 can take you as far as you need to go. That position, along with a light aluminium frame, 7-speed Shimano Nexus internal gear hub and powerful alloy V-brakes makes this a truly versatile machine.

While for most bike makers that would be enough to slap on a price tag and call it a day, VSF Fahrrad Manufaktur clearly cares about going the extra mile or two (or fifty). The T-50 features a battery-free dynamo lighting system with a built-in standlight so your lights stay on even when you come to a stop. Cromoplastic SKS fenders and a powerful Racktime rack (by Tubus) make this the perfect bike for either urban cruising or weekend trekking. With everything packed onto the T-50, you wouldn't even believe the price is real.
