Seidel & Naumann was manufacturer for sewing machines and typewriters (famous "Erika") from 1870 to 1945 in Dresden, Germany. In 1887 the bicycle production began. Bought the frame with fenders, fork and crank for a historic rebuild. First fitted with a Dutchman bar, old style 26" wheels and cruiser tires. Original colours were dark green fade to silver, painted black. Used some years as a commuter/tourer, later almost forgotten...

Very cool! It's got plenty of attitude already, just clean it put some new tires on it and you're done. :)

Thanx g-cobb. See, the pics are from 2002-2004. I want to change the sitting and steering position. And it's a 28" frame, the front wheel is a 28" too at this time after the old one broke. Finally, after a crash I decided to add brakes. Trust me - it would be nice ;)
