This Spengle three-spoke wheel was an absolute eye-catcher and cult item in the 90's. This three-spoke wheel from Spengle was made of the then futuristic material carbon and was a real status symbol that cost me DM 3,500 at the time (when I was a student). I really wanted to ride it.
The frame came from the Krautscheid forge in Bochum-Stiepel, which was a real high-end boutique back then, and I got it in this special paint finish.
