FES Exhibition

During the “Berliner Fahrradschau” two weeks ago there was a history exhibition from FES (Institut für Forschung und Entwicklung von Sportgeräten) for the first time available to the public.

01 - Sweet Dreams are made of these

The info on the chainstays is always stating if the bike is made for track (B) or street use (S) and in which year it was made (eg. 87=1987, 95=1995, 10=2010). The last number represents the level of development on all models till 1999, afterwards the number means which size is it (1= smallest available size).
