I remember my sister having a Kalkhoff girls bike when we were kids back in the early 80s. I also remember nicking the White wall tyres off it & putting them on my bike

I recently read an old article from the 80's written by the 'competition-commission' that mentioned the biggest import manufacturers from europe. France was Peugeot, Austria was Puch, Italy was Cinzia and Germany was .......  Kalkhoff
