Auf jeden Fall warste mit deinem 5500er am Gardasee. Irgendwo am Westufer, ziemlich im Norden, oder?
Schön, wenn jemand sein Haustier dort gassi führt.

Aber warum verkaufste das überhaupt?
Biste fremdgegangen und hast nun so ein neumodernes Teil?
Man muss die alten Proflexer doch lieb haben und behalten.

Naja, jedenfalls solltest du noch die Rahmenhöhe angeben.
Und ne Preisvorstellung wäre mit Sicherheit auch verkaufsfördernd.

Grüße aus Bayern!

Der Gardasee ist einfach nen Traum zum biken! Richtig, ist das Westufer und sehr nördlich.  ;D







Ich würde das Bike ja behalten, aber es ist mir leider schon immer zu klein. Ich mag die Geometrie und funktionieren tut es auch gut, aber wie gesagt zu klein. Nur dafür, dass es im Keller steht braucht man auch kein Rad, also hab ich mich schweren Herzens entschlossen mir was neues zuzulegen.







Rahmenhöhe ist L und ne Preisvorstellung wird's auch noch geben nachdem ich ein paar Bilder geschossen habe. Würd mich halt erstmal interessieren, wie mein Bike gehandelt werden würde.







Gruß aus Hessen, Jörg

In any case warste with your 5500er at the Gardasee. Somewhere on the west bank, quite in the north, or? Beautifully, if someone leads its domestic animal there gassi. But why that verkaufste at all? Biste foreigngone and has now such a again-modern part? One must have and keep the old Proflexer nevertheless dear. , anyhow you should indicate still the framework height to Naja. And ne price conception would be with security also salespromoting. Greetings from Bavaria! Matti

The Gardasee is simply nen dream to the biken! Correctly, the west bank is very northern and. I would keep the Bike, but it is unfortunately always too small me. I like geometry and function do it also well, but as said too small. Only for the fact that it is located in the cellar needs one also no wheel, therefore have I heavy heart decided me which new to add. Framework height is L and ne price conception wird's also still gives after I a few pictures shot. Wuerd me stop first times interest, as my Bike would be acted. Greeting from Hessen, Joerg

Framesize is L (52cm).

I am located in Germany, near Kassel.



New detailed pictures you will find here:

Thank you for translation! You do it by a software translator, right?

I nearly made my panties wet by reading the translation which must be from a very funny internet translator!
Cool thing! Really cool thing!!

A question came into my mind:
Is it possible to codify a secret text by using one of those translators in both directions for three or four times? (Grin)
And is it possible to decode it again? (deep grin)

Beautifully, if someone leads its domestic animal there gassi
One of the best ranslations I have ever read!
;D Really!

Biste foreigngone and has now such a again-modern part?
Should be: Did you cheat your old bike and now you have one of those modern bikes?

I really enjoyed reading that thread!!

No prob man!
German is a language which really noone needs to know.
There are only 100 million people talking German as natives.
How much do talk English?
Or Spanish?
Russian?

But the translation really was very funny.

Matti,

You could also point out that 90% or more of German-speaking natives also speak English (most of them better than most of the illegal immigrants we have here in the USA)!

We have a friend from Hamburg moving in to our house in a couple of months, so I'm hoping she can teach my wife and kids a little... Especially the important words, like gassi... My family used that word every day when I was growing up (our dogs were VERY good at pooping whenever we said it), but when I lived in Germany, nobody seemed to have ever heard it. Is it Bavarian? I must have asked 20 people in northern Germany, and not one had ever heard the word!

Kassel... now that brings back memories! Lived there for a very short time, but I have fond memories of flying through the mountains in my little Opel Korsa! Good times. (I was actually just reading last week about my 4th-great-grandfather, who was born in Kassel! It's a small world).

Wish I could afford a carbon frame right now. However, moving to a house is consuming more resources than I actually have. DOH!  :o

Hmm!

I allways thought it is just a normal word in German.
"Gassi gehen" means going for a walk with your pet.

But I just looked it up in a german dictionary.

It is not in it!

I'm shocked. I allways used a word which is not in the books. And everybody understood it. How can that be?
Maybe it is really a southern German expression.

I will do an inquiry here in my town and see what people think about it.

Just have a look here:
Internet Translator LEO (http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende〈=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&sectHdr=on&spellToler=on&search=to+walk+the+dog&relink=on)

Maybe it's colloquial speech, but it's real german! ;)
