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.

    Handles Photo-Quality Prints, Versatile Connectivity
    Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer, Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
    I've had this printer for a whole year now. I was on a severe budget, looking for a photo-quality printer that didn't require Wifi in this digital age- because I quite frankly can't afford my own Wifi connection. My rink-a-dink laptop had to be set up with the software at my library, and an extra cord purchased. All that said, I mostly print from my phone, because the software app is a bit easier to ensure that I get the highest quality setting. Laptop loves to be a snot about it. The blutooth feature, or "wifi direct", has a way about it, and as soon as you figure out what it wants, it gives minimal problems. It functions exactly as if a printer had wifi on it, believe it or not. What sold me on this model was the ability to do all of that, and adjust for different situations, seeing as other brands DEMAND constant wifi connectivity (lookin' at BROTHER, maybe Canon, too), and the long lasting ink tanks- I've printed hundreds of pages, and being a gothic/horror artist, at least a good part of the time, black is the only color even half gone. What horrified me the most about printer-shoping dropping a lot of money (hundred plus is a lot over here, man) and not getting the prints to look like my work. Well, fear not. The attached pictures are why I made this review, to hopefully ease the anxiety of others. I make digital paintings, and use high DPI for high quality, and also the cutest micro-stickers you've ever seen. Prints come out clear, even if they can sit in the tip of my finger. Yes, there are probably better printers. Maybe they're faster, and have even better connectivity, and have more bells and whistles. I specifically did not want to pay for those things, so, I'm very happy there's options. It's not perfect, no, because every now and then, I get what I call a "special edition", where my printer has decided to multi-color barf out the last third of the page. One time it randomly printed in black and white. Well, that's no big deal, my stuff tends to look great in monochrome. Every now and then I get a low quality print; things just look a bit fuzzy. I'm not happy about that, but, you clean the heads, and print something simple and toony, and it has never done it twice in a row. Alignment has been off only one time, and I put the printer away after every session. It occurs to me that people pay good amounts of money for printers that do that sort of thing anyway, so... Printers gonna printer, no matter where you try to hide. Overall, I'm happy and relieved. I hope it lasts me a good long time. (Streetratt on Kofi, by the way.🖤 )

    Great functional printer
    Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
    This is a great basic printer for my office. We have a higher model in our main floor office but it is older. The setup is fast and easy and it prints well. I set it up right from my phone. The picture quality is great and it prints quickly. It is so convenient and was the right price for what I need.

    Cool Texture, Great Product, Notable Cons, Still Recommend
    Model: Tab S11/S10 Lite/S10 FE/S9/S9 FE/S8/S7
    AMAZING PRODUCT! I've never used a "paper-like" screen protector, but this one applied perfectly and was easy to use! (just follow the instructions!) no bubbles, just one single speck of dust (my own fault - sigh). It creates a very strong "matte" effect and feels cool to run your hand over (very paper-y) CONS: -The fit was SLIGHTLY big for my new S11 tablet, (each corner went RIGHT to the very corner of the tablet ALMOST going over the lip-this was just the corners of the protector and not the edges, which I found weird. IMO, its too close for my own comfort, but it still works none the less, and I've managed to use a case with it too with only minor corner lift). -The texture of the screen protector definitely distorts the pixels slightly, its just something to get used to, and probably something you'd have to see yourself, for if it would bug you or not. -It collects fingerprints like craaazy but they also wipe off craaazy easy too....sooo not fully an issue? just surprised me. Overall, for the money, I still recommend getting this protector if you're at all interested in a "paper-like" finish!

    Great quality and easy to apply
    Model: iPad A16 11th/10th/Air 11
    I love these screen protectors. They feel amazing and they sent an installation kit making the applying process so easy. There was also a squeegee included to make sure air bubbles wouldn’t Be a problem. I’ve had zero problems with the protector reducing the touch sensitivity of the screen, the protectors fit well, seem durable, and are great quality. The price was also reasonable. I’ve never owned other paper-feel screen protectors so I’m not able to give a comparison, but for these being my first ones I am very pleased.
