• Just noticed; the chainwheel is stamped BDR - Most likely stands for: 'Bund Deutscher Radfahrer' - The German cycling federation.

    I wish I'd have had the chain-ring when building my Textima!

    Maybe Textima was never user by BDR riders (I'm not really sure, ask Mr. 75 degrees, or what's his nick) .
    Textima was typically used by DDR (East German) riders.
    BDR is the West German federation or the overall German Federation after the reunion.
