Hi there!

My name is Stefan...aka FastDad
I'm 38 years old, maried and have 2 lovely daughters.
Some of you might now me from the german WW page.
I enjoy to ride my different types of bycicles through the woods, roads and parks over here in Potsdam/Germany.
But what gives me much more of relaxing is to build at my bikes.

more will follow soon

I have seen your work on other sites I believe so it is a welcome addition to this site. I can't wait to read about this bike and tuning you have done.

As a father of 2 as well, welcome.

Heavily tuned bike. I just looked at all of the pictures on his PhotoBucket page and there is some amazing work on this bike.

WHOLLY CRAP there is some amazing carbon work and tuning going on.

Welcome, sweet bike. I'm not a father, but I'm sure we can get along :D

^mattynorm, levers look like DA 7900, derailleurs, although they look unique, seem like cable actuated ones to me.
