overhaul fichtel sachs torpedo two speed 1921 wanderer patent
Today I show you the different between the early and the later version of a Sachs Double-Torpedo. The version 1921 comes with the wanderer-patent on the engraving. Regards Jens Hansen / Don Torpedo
The highlight of the day, Another upload from Jens! I did a rebuild a few days ago where i tried Vaseline for the brass brake and indeed it works much better, and today i will service my mod 515 for my commuter bike for the winter season.
great idea to use parts from the 50's to hold this torpedo in motion. With regular service will this torpedo run for the next 20 or more years. Maybe you have tips for alternativ shifters for the hard to find originals. The bicycle with the complete shifting system looks intresting to, should be restored to use. Best regards, Frank
