Current Stage Info:
Permanent loan to a friend (not as tall as I am). Used alot. We did some chances (3 gear to 7 gear, wider bar) and a crash replacement was needed.
Alot of paint is gone, but it still runs like a charm.

@mtretyn: There is one "Orłowski" on pedalroom and some other "Orlowski". To tell the truth, I don't even know how to make the "ł" on my keyboard. But you are right!

;) I assume you have a polish keyboard! I just copied your "ł"! Now it worked! Can switch between german an polish, after adding it as a language and switching the keyboard language. Still: the letters aren't on my "hardware"keyboard ;) but now I can type Orłowski correct!
