Hello everybody,
I am deeply sorry I am writing in English and I am bothering you...
Anyway - could you give me any addresses of good cycling shops in Berlin?
I am looking for MKS FD7 pedals. Aby chances to get them in Berlin?
I did find them in EGO-Bike, Dresden, but the international shipping is
v. expensive.
Besides I will be in Berlin for a weekend in June/July.
TIA
Regards

caveat emptor: i'm not from Berlin
For rare parts you may try to contact
<http://www.dailybreadcycles.net/?page_id=9> or
<http://www.cikagobude.com/blog/category/07-kontakt/> or "Keirin Berlin" ...

OTOH as FD7 are folding pedals try using google something like "faltrad
berlin"

of "expensive" ;)

Oh, thank you.

Oh, those pedals cost 38 EUR in Ego-Bike. Plus 16 EUR for shipping.
Which makes almost HALF of the price. That's what I called v. expensive.
In Hannover the ratio shipping/price is slightly better. :-)
But the total remains the same. :-(

Yes, I am trying. But a list of recommended cycle shop would be very
helpful.

And one more thing. Does 'faltrad' and 'Klapprad' means exactly the
same? Which word is more common?

Faltrad is more common for some years, but means not exactly the same to
Klapprad. A Klapprad has mostly only one frame joint, sometimes a a
handlebar lever, is build in the 60s and 70s and can not be folded as
small as foldable bikes (Faltrad/Falträder).

O, thank you.
I do understand now.
I did ask about this 'faltrad' a friend of mine who used to live in
Germany (Bayern) for 10 years in the 80.
He said he didn't know such a word. He knew only what a 'klapprad' was.
Anyway 'faltrad' is a more general term nowadays, isnt't it?
