Hello from the far north! We are Hannes and Lasse - two brothers from Kiel. Together, we make the podcast "Plattfuss - The Triathlon and Cycling Podcast". Every week, we talk to each other about what's on our minds. The core topic of sports is often simply bypassed, and we digress far and wide. The goal, however, is still to tame the bastard together every week and explore this world's starting lines. We ride bikes because it's simply shocking!
The Plattfuss garage
Rose X-Lite 04
We both ride the X-Lite 04 from Rose Bikes with a 105 gear. Previously, we had both ridden other bikes, but we always wanted to sit on a uniform buck. So we both sold our old bikes at buycycle and got the Rose. In fact, before that, we both had bikes with electronic shifting. However, it always bugged us that we could not fix them. Therefore, we went back to the good old 105. Since nothing can break, and if one gets the MacGyver-mässig with a rubber band and a toothpick, time is also bridged. We love it!
Rose Backroad
We also both chose the Backroad from Rose for our Gravelevents. Lasse got his new one from the Rose store, but Hannes no longer got one, because nothing was in stock. So he looked at Buycycle and found and got an almost brand new wheel. Now we can both fly through the forest again and collect off-road kilometers.
Rose Bonero
Lasse also bought a Rose Bonero for the Atlas Mountain Race 23, which he unfortunately had to stop after a crash at kilometer 500. This unique experience has already given the bike a special meaning, and although it is currently not used much, he can not part with it. Maybe it will end up on the platform someday and be ridden by someone else. Maybe it will return to the desert sands of Morocco at some point.
