There is a bike on German ebay that has a very humorous description:

Lovely Rhein type race bike offered to a good home. The bike is in great shape (see photo). Due to particular grounds, I have not been able to ride the bike much for the last half year. Wheels: ca. 26", the wheels are artfully formed, making the bike into a valuable collector's piece and making every ride an unforgettable experience. The saddle has been removed as a weight-saving measure which can only be a plus to the buyer and rider. Only the chain might eventually need to be oiled.

Technical Extras: coaster brake, Kickstand(!), Carrier (a seldom seen Extra on a racing bike!!!), sporting handlebars.

Please only serious bids from people willing to pick up in person! I only accept nice ebayers with seahorses. Please therefore send me a photo of yourself in swim trunks after completing the purchase.

Who ever said the Germans didn't have a sense of humor?
