The VSF Fahrrad Manufaktur T-100 Step-Through is the European answer to making bicycles (Fahrradmanufaktur literally means "bike maker") that aren't just designed for small flat cities like Amsterdam or Copenhagen, but large sprawled out cities like Berlin, where cycling is transportation but also a pastime - and the weather is as lousy. Kind of like Toronto! 

If your city riding is largely within a dense, highly defined radius, the T-100 is a lightweight alternative to heavier Dutch bikes. If you have any hills in your usual route, the T-100 is geared for the job. If you ride longer distances, or want to use the same bike in the city as you would on the weekend, the T-100 may be the only bike that does both equally well. It is, in fact, the ultimate do-everything "everyday" bike.

Like most of the German products we sell, the T-100 is a marvel of thoughtful design, engineering and top notch quality. The T-100 includes a dynamo lighting system that turns on automatically when you pedal, and even has a capacitor to keep the lights burning on stored energy when stopped. The parts are a collection of top-notch European companies, from the puncture resistant Schwalbe Tires to the Swiss made Pletscher kickstand. Everything is designed to work, and work well. 

Unlike Dutch bikes which assume a consistently short ride in their design, the T-100 is upright but does position the rider ever so slightly over the bars to get more efficiency and control over distance. Just a touch more steering control and power to the pedals. It's not bolt-upright, but then, this is a bike you could ride for several hours if the spirit moves you. The chromoly steel frame is lighter and much more compliant than heavier steel frames from Holland, meaning you can finish a short bumpy ride or long gravel ride in comfort. It's stronger too. Like all the city bikes we sell, the Fahrradmanufaktur is built for perpetual outdoor storage but it's still light enough to carry inside.

    How is a city bike different from other types of bikes?

    Behind each bike lies a designer, and within each designer lies assumptions. The assumption of most North American bike designers is that people ride bikes for recreation, which usually involves a bike path, a country road, and several hours of spare time. The bikes that result from this assumption are usually hunched-over, have exposed oily drivetrains that require tighter athletic clothes, feature anywhere from 21 to 33 speeds, and aren’t often made to be locked up to metal poles all day, especially in foul weather. A city bike is quite the opposite. Its position is gloriously upright, the chain is totally covered, you can wear whatever you want, you have all the gears you’d ever need (3-speeds for flatter terrain, 7 or 8-speeds for hills), and tough frames and sealed mechanisms to battle all kinds of weather.

    What’s the difference between a brand like Fahrradmanufaktur and others you carry?

    We’re just going to say it: Fahrradmanufaktur is the best city bike we’ve ever seen. The geometry is upright but still sporty enough to multitask city riding and longer weekend adventures. The parts are made in Europe and best-in-class: chaincovers from Hebie (Germany), kickstands from Pletscher (Switzerland), racks from Racktime (Germany), fenders from SKS (Germany), grips from Herrmans (Finland) and lights from Axa (Netherlands), Herrmans (Finland) and Busch & Muller (Germany). Durable for all weather, light enough to bring inside, great for the city, and great to bring up to the cottage too. Best of all, the prices are more than reasonable.

    What’s the difference between the S-80 and the T-100?

    The S-80 is a slightly more economical bike targeted a bit more at the city cyclist while the T-100 can multitask city riding and longer rides at the cottage with equal aplomb. The S80 has a more upright position that prioritizes absolute safety in the city while the T-100 is still upright, but tilts the rider over slightly for better agility and power. The S-80 uses a ¾ chaincase whereas the T-100 uses the (amazing) full coverage Hebie Chainglider. And there’s some other differences: the T-100 has a much brighter lightset, and uses some nicer parts like the Racktime rack (light and strong) and quality Swiss made Pletscher kickstands.

    What is dynamo lighting?

    Cars come with lights and so should a city bike. Dynamo lightsets are an integrated system that generates electricity from the hub and blasts this into a bolted-on, theft-resistant light that projects more power than most battery systems so that you can see and be seen. Unlike the old days where the dynamo rubbed against the tire (slowing you down) the new systems are part of the front hub and are very low friction as well as very low maintenance. Most of the dynamo sets we carry feature a “standlight,” or capacitor which means they produce and store energy so that when you’re stopped the lights keep going.

    Is a Step-thru for Women and a Roadster for Men?

    Heck no! It’s the 21stcentury and anyone can ride either a Step-thru or a Roadster. The difference between the two is not gender, but position. A Step-thru has a remarkably high head-tube that raises the handlebar up very high so the back is straight and the hips pointed forward. A Roadster has a much shorter headtube that positions the rider over the handlebars for more control, and the hips over the cranksets for more power. If you imagine yourself toodling through the bike lane at a stylish and efficient pace, choose a Step-thru. If you imagine a bit more zip and power then choose a Roadster.

    How strong are the wheels and will I get a lot of punctures?

    Wheels are always the first part to break on most bikes and these wheels are strong! All the city bikes we sell feature strong double-walled rims that are internally box-sectioned to handle streetcar tracks and potholes. They all feature strong stainless-steel spokes that can never rust. Bikes like the Fahrradmanufaktur also feature Schwalbe Citizen tires that are Kevlar-belted tires to drastically reduce punctures in the city.

    What is an internal gear hub?

    In Europe a bike with an internal gear hub is what makes it a definitive city bike. Internal gear hubs are awesome. Because the chain isn’t derailed up and down a set of external cogs (using a derailleur), the chain will never fall off again, and best of all, the chain can be covered so you can wear whatever you want. The gears are sealed inside the rear hub and they hold a tune two times longer than a derailleur, minimizing tune-ups and allowing you to store the bike outside throughout the winter problem-free.

    How do I ensure my new bike won’t get stolen? 

    Research shows that very few bicycle thefts are related to a bicycles value and are best defined as low-risk/low-return. A good bicycle lock is expensive to break through and takes time, thus increasing the risk and lowering the return. Estimates are that over 90% of bicycle theft is tied to cash-for-drugs and that makes every bike a target. Make sure you buy a good Abus U-lock or a chain and you’ll be fine. 

    What’s the warranty?

    Ten year warranty for manufactures defects on frame and fork, one year on parts. Does not include wear and tear.

    AMAZING!
    Color: 1 Pack
    This is amazing!! It gives me such a glow. I get compliments on my skin, all day. And I e only had it for two days. It’s great to reapply. No more cheap harmful sunscreen spray with alcohol to the face. I only wear tinted sunscreen. This is so convenient. It’s cheaper than $30 Kopari. I’m buying three of these so I will not run out. Summer is in two months. I cannot be without this. And only $10!! I’m in love with this product. Run and get it!

    works
    Color: 1 Pack
    I got this sheer setting mist sunscreen for summer and it has been a fun little extra to keep on hand. The formula is light and dries fast, so it never feels sticky or heavy on the skin. The sheer finish really is sheer. No white cast, no chalky look, just a soft, hydrated glow. The little bit of shimmer gives it a pretty, sun kissed look without turning you into a glitter ball. It works well over makeup as a setting spray and it is easy to reapply during the day without messing anything up. On bare skin it gives a dewy finish that looks fresh, especially for beach days or outdoor events. The SPF 50 is solid protection, and it does not irritate sensitive skin. If you want a sunscreen that feels weightless, adds a touch of glow, and fits right into a summer routine, this one is a fun and easy choice.

    Not sticky, lightweight light shimmer/glitter sunscreen setting spray.
    Color: 1 Pack, Color: 1 Pack
    If you like just a touch of sparkle along with some sunscreen and setting spray this is fantastic. This doesn't leave you looking like you are going to a rave, rather it is more like you have been crafting and there is a bit of glitter. It is sheer other than the touch of sparkle. It is not sticky it dries and feels almost like it isn't there at all. There is seventy five ml in this bottle just over two and a half ounces. The sprayer mists quite well so there is even coverage. This works equally as well to set your make-up and also to add sunscreen on the rest of your body. The formula contains hyaluronic acid to improve moisture. It dries soft and lightweight which I really appreciate in a product that also protects the skin from the sun.

    Love a subtle glitter!
    Color: 1 Pack, Color: 1 Pack
    I am a big fan of glitter for going to events with my little daughter. She loves wearing glitter as much as I do. We both wear sunscreen, and I was interested in this because of the SPF promise. I also liked the idea of a sheer mist. I like to use glitter as a way to make up for not having a tan so I can still have a sort of sunny glow. I am not sure how I feel about this as an spf product. I prefer to put on serious cream sunscreen and I would just use this as a touch up mist, or cosmetic refresher. The mist is watery up closely sprayed but it is light and weightless misted on from an appropriate distance. The dried mist on my skin does have a sort of barrier or feel of a sunscreen over something like a gel. There is a slight tack till dry but very subtle. My sunscreen and makeup was fine under this mist. I do use mists to give my skin a natural texture so most of my products look good with a mist setting finish. The glitter is super subtle, but noticeable if you focus on it. In a low light setting I can see speckled glitter, and in direct sunlight. Just not clubbing or parade level body bedazzling glitter. I actually really like the fine glitter effect. There is no fall off, and the glitter washes off super easy. My skin feels very happy and hydrated but not bothered by a coating or layer. There isn’t really an aroma, I swear there is when I mist but then I smell nothing on me but a faint notion of some product. Not powdery but a mild lotion like note. Very hard to detect unless you are literally nose to skin sniffing. I think for the price this is a great fine glitter mist. I might continue to use my own sunscreen and not rely on this as a barrier. I take spf pretty seriously as a woman in my early forties. Overall I am really happy with this as a casual mist and I would buy it again to just wear because I like the texture and the effect. The box did have unfortunate choice of colors for reading but up close I was able to read the ingredients and information. The bottle is pretty cute, and the mist nozzle pumps well without sticking or getting gummed up.
