I recently bought a Simson Suhl city bike from Germany. I've found a bit of info about the company, but it's not clear if they stopped bike production before WWII or if it continued afterwards. Any ideas if the serial #s might include a date code?
It's pretty nice, Torpedo coaster hub with Renak wing nuts, and painted and pinstriped rims.
It also has a brake that acts on the front tire like the spoon brakes from very early bikes. I need a brake pad for it. Are they available? and were they standardized, or are they all different?
