We found this super rare German 2-Speed WW2 bicycle in the basement of an old Bavarian country house and now we're bringing it back to the road again.
The most exciting part is for sure the gearbox, which is pretty rare so see and very exciting to restore.
You also need to replace damaged parts with a 3D-printer?
Then have a look at our partner Bambulab bambulab.com
Short Q&A:
- No repaint, we like the patina as it is. It also fits better into our workshop.
- Restoration is in our mind a direct action on the object with the aim of making it work again, but to keep the character of the object. In doing so, its aesthetic, historical and physical characteristics are respected as much as possible.

I am a retired mathematics teacher from Hungary. As a young teacher I lived in a region (Békés county) where there were as many bicycles as in the Netherlands. As I earned little money, I started repairing bicycles. I got my hands on a few pre-war bikes, most of them Sachs, and one Hercules. I have no idea how that Hercules got to Hungary. Even then I was amazed at how durable these old bikes were made of. Like here on the Wanderer, almost all the internal components just had to be cleaned out and could go back in place. The bearing bushings were still in good condition after 50-60 years, at most the bearings had to be replaced. But in the Torpedo, they didn't have to be replaced either. This Wanderer is beautiful. I enjoyed every minute of the restoration with great nostalgia. Congratulations! Beautiful job!

In my native country, Cuba, there were and are not spare parts for anything and we had to come up with them. I was a turner and miller. I started making parts for bicycles, cars and motorcycles. I made any part or adapted it and I loved it. I emigrated. I went to the US 45 years ago and when I see almost new bicycles thrown in the trash, it makes me nostalgic and I always say, how much I would have given to have found something similar when I was a kid, today I am retired from everything, only the memories remain. I congratulate you for your talent and love dedicated to restoring something appreciated

I am just retired, i was a kid in the 60’s and 70’s (Canada). There was a group of us kids 11-14 years old who would go scrapping on garbage days(people put out trash for pickup). We had could often pickup many old bikes in the spring time, people buy new bikes and throw old ones out. We could easily put together one good bike from parts. Often these bikes would get sold 5$, and it was an ongoing thing . The bikes were nothing near the quality of these older European bikes. The bikes from the ’60’s and 70’s were the start of disposable bikes era. I have seen the complete circle of quality, and many new bikes from the 90’s onward are again made of good quality materials, and were expensive and worth repairing.

@@spankyjeffro5320 heritage conservation: definition Unfortunately, there is no single definition, because the schools of thought in restoration are diverse and especially theidea of conservative restoration varies greatly in different restoration fields. In general, however, we can say that conservation restoration is a restoration intervention thataims to consolidate the art object in order to restore its legibility and slow down its degradation. The basic idea of heritage conservation is to restore the existing, without reconstructing what has been lost. For example: An affresco where part of the plaster has come off and 30% of the work has been lost (permanently). If we were to do a conservative restoration to the affresco, the restorer will be responsible for securing the 70% of the fresco that is left, taking care that there are no new detachments and restoring the colors of the time by trying to use the same materials. However, the restorer will not go and "redesign" the 30 percent of the affresco that was destroyed. As we said in heritage conservation one must deal with the existing, what remains. I personally think that you are a person without arguments who is just looking for visibility, but that is essentially your problem.

Wunderbares Fahrrad. Relativ selten. Es wurden meines Erachtens lediglich 999 Stück mit diesem Zweigang-Getriebe produziert. Ich selbst habe für mich ein Adler 3-Gang-Getriebe Fahrrad von 1939 restauriert und habe meine Freude daran. Die Entwicklung des Getriebe dürfte aus dem Automobilbereich herrühren. Sehr schöne Restauration, auch dass die Patina erhalten bleibt. Die Geschichte soll ja sichtbar bleiben. Bitten weitere solche Restaurationen veröffentlichen. Sehr interessant zu sehen.

@@tomeksz7203 Unfortunataly I have to agree, the video is amazing, but as someone with quite a bit of mechanical background I struggled to watch in some instances. Especially the hydraulic press for crankarms made me cry inside, pressing a square taper like that pretty much bonds it forever if ANY amount of rust forms, cranks are meant to be press in place with the bolt/nut retaining them; using an hydraulic press (even if antiseize/grease was applied to the mating surfaces) will just scrap the shaft for any future disassembly. Again, amazing bike and video, but only ppl with no mechanical experience can just be amazed without having some bone-chilling instances during the video.

Very well conserved time piece from a time when bicycles for everyday use were still a high quality item. I learned my first mechanics working on such bicycles and the nice thing was that you could repair everything on these. Back in the 1970s and 80s you would get most of the small parts like the BBs or the cups they go in, the splines and so much more. Today you have to replace the whole assembly when something breaks, and often it is not worth doing that anymore unless you have an high end sports bike.

This bicycle is a product of Wanderer-Werke AG Chemnitz, which, in addition to bicycles, also manufactured motorcycles, cars, delivery vans and office machines. In 1932, Wanderer became part of Auto Union AG and was represented in its logo by one of four rings, just like Audi, Horch and DKW. From 1965 onwards (until today), only the name Audi was used, but the Auto Union logo was retained. The Wanderer-Werke factory in Chemnitz still exists to this day, but sadly has long been left behind and is slowly falling apart. Bicycles are still sold under the name Wanderer, but those have nothing to do with the original company, only the naming rights are used. Interestingly enough, Chemnitz has been chosen as the European Capital of Culture 2025.

@@SilvaDreams these old bikes are built like and as long as you keep it greased, it's good to ride. This bike is so unique with the gearbox and better alternatives available from the '50s onwards, I think it wasn't used at least for the last 50 - 60 years. Paint job definitely is original with its decals.

My dad was a mechanic in the army. He had in his shop a manual grinder with a gearbox. I have always wondered why a bicycle wouldn't have something similar. Now I know my ideas were not just my imagination. Someone made them a reality.

Keeping everything super original was beautifully done. It really pays respect to the life that bicycle has had. Going back to bare metal and new paint to make it look new again is all well and good, and with many restorations there isn't a choice, but I think I'd prefer this.

Some very interesting design features on that bike. I’d like to know more about the freewheel mechanism on the Torpedo coaster brake, and I’ve never seen that type of gearbox on a bicycle before, that’s remarkable. I shall look into that model of bike and learn more about it. I liked your home-made crank puller too, very clever. I’m also sure that there was a lot of pre-preparation before the strip-down, there is no way some of those nuts and bolts came apart so easily with just a squirt of WD-40! I’d have also used anti-seize or copaslip on every one of those fixings, especially the stem, seatpost and pedals. I’ve done a few vintage bike restorations and none of them have come apart that easily! But that was a very interesting 30 minutes, thank you!

Thank you! You find more information about that model by searching for "Wanderer Getrieberad". A very interesting competitor at that time is also the "Adler Getrieberad" which even features a 3-speed gearbox. You can find more information regarding the Torpedo hub at scheunenfun.de/explosionszeichnung.htm. The website is a little bit messy, but the information is really good. You got us, some parts were really stuck and took a lot of WD-40 and time. Nevertheless, it came apart more easily than we are used to.

@@forgottenthings The rebirth is quite new, since the 1990s Schlumpf offers a gearbox but that seems to have only two gears so that it's often combined with a gear hub, but seems to be mostly used on recumbent bicycles (Liegeräder). And Pinion began around 2006 but the first gearbox was introduced in 2011. Similar to the Rohloff Speedhub it also seems to be very pricey, couldn't find exact figures, but the 12-speed C1.12 seems to cost around a thousand bucks, I got a Gudereit Bike with that transmission leased since August and with a MSRP of 3000€ it was seemingly one of the cheapest bikes that use Pinion. I guess compared to that a full Shimano XT 12-speed kit (crank, chain, rear derailleur, cassette, shifter) won't cost you more than 500 bucks. And at first glance you may also confuse it with an Electric middle motor by Bosch, Yamaha or Shimano.

Well, that's very personal... Modern bikes are, questionably, overly fragile and maybe overly expensive, but this bike (with all due respect) holds nothing against even the most basic modern steel frame in terms of design/weight/confort/geometry. It's a spectacle to watch such a beutiful bike being preserved, but I wouln't go as far as to call it "better than most modern stuff". Gearboxes are sure reliable and amazing, but you can fix a modern drivetrain roadside with a 100g multitool, not so much for a gearbox.

@@siraff4461 wow, someone got offended here... would you mind explaining what do you mean by "base design"? Do you mean the fact that everything in this bike is over-constructed and probably gonna outlast humanity itself? Do you mean the geometry of the bike? Cause yeah, I mean, this looks like any other upright comfy bike geometry out there, there hasn't been any real breakthrough in the geometry of upright city bikes in the last 100years. Do you mean the fact that the rear triangle is removable? That's a crappy design used solely to help manufacturing by introducing a significant error tolerance in the design, as shown in the video, it often cracks, due to the stress raisers in some spots, mainly the bolt/bolt eyelet and connecting pieces. Are you wow-ed by the fact that the tubes from the front triangle aren't welded/braised but bolted to the headtube/BB/seatstay? Again, manufacturing aid, welding a flat triangle can be very challenging without introducing some warp or deformation, especially with the rudimentary metallurgy we had back then for civilian applications, like making a "mundane bike". Old bikes aren't better than new ones in any measurable way (few exceptions aside like the Lotus 108 maybe), sure they can be pretty and I agree with that, but still... Btw I'm way older than 12yo. At that age, while you were blaming the teachers, I was busy learning mechanical engineering from my grampa :P

@@andy_liga "learning mechanical engineering" yet you don't even understand the concept of design basics vs overall performance. Some of the concepts (base design) of this bike are better in a lot of ways than most new ones. That doesn't mean it works better. It doesn't mean its a better product. It means the ideas behind it are better. For instance having a sealed gearbox allows better lubrication without dirt or water ingress along with allowing for a much stronger gearset in a much smaller area. It also means the chain can be solid which reduces component count and increases reliability vs a derailer or even a sprung tensioner. It also allows a thinner driveline which allows a thinner frame throw and therefore increased strength per weight. There are numerous other advantages like shorter cable length vs a rear cassette, not having to spin every gear regardless of which is engaged, less unsprung weight if you're using rear suspension, a smaller rear spindle width which again reduces unsprung weight and increases strength per size, potentially less aero drag because there aren't multiple gear wheels and an s-bend in the flow - along with the thinner crank allowing the same and on and on it goes. Of course you knew that with your "mechanical engineering" background, right? Just because it was made a long time back using the materials and techniques of the day doesn't mean something newer is automatically a better design. Simply throwing some Shimano kit on a basic triangle for a frame is much cheaper and easier but that only makes it better if you buy into the advertising. Why would a modern company throw a load of r&d into something when they can sell something very similar to last years for a nice bump to people like you who don't understand that a carbon frame actually isn't that expensive or hard to make?
