Equipment on part 1 | Berlin – Odessa

Bicycle

Shortly before my journey I lost my bike. That’s why I had to look for a new one. Well of course not brand-new, because I didn’t want to get it stolen the 3rd day or so.
I looked daily in German’s craiglist n°1 (eBay Kleinzeigen) but in the end a good friend of mine gave me his old. I exchange and bought some parts.
