thank you for your inquiry. We would be happy to support your European bike trip with our bikes.
As you have maybe already seen, all our bikes are based on this model:
http://www.contoura.de/modelle/parma/ We would for sure provide you one fitting to your body height. What WON’t be possible, is to put a front pannier, since our bikes aren’t provided with a frontal rack. We can for sure provide you a handlebar bag and back panniers as well. Here a link to get an Idea of the model: http://www.mctrek.de/radtouren/radtaschen/vaude-se-world-tourer-single-radtasche_4048621 To directly answer your questions: 1) Do you have a bike available from June 2nd to June 29th? Yes, we do! 2) If so, how much would the rental cost? The Bike will cost you € 239,00 3) Is it ok if I put a front pannier rack on the bicycle? As already mentioned, unfortunately it’s not possible. 4) Anything else I would need to know before renting a bike with you? The panniers are included in the price, together with a reparation kit. For sure feel free to contact us for further questions, we will be happy to help you. Regards, Julia Ciarrocchi terranova & RadTouren Teufel Zimmermann Touristik KG Martin-May-Str. 7 60594 Frankfurt a.M. Tel.: +49 69.69.30.54 Fax.:+49 69.69.34.98 E-Mail: julia@terranova-touristik.de www.terranova-touristik.de Thank you Julia. I want to clarify re: the luggage. I would want to bring all my own luggage: - Rear panniers. I believe my panniers would fit just fine on the pannier rack that you provide. Here are photos of what they are like: --- Two bags, front view: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usedphotosna/43571728_614.jpg --- One bag, rear view: https://thelazyrando.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/mec-bag.jpg?w=510&h=524 - Front pannier rack - Front panniers (similar to the ones in the pic above) - Handlebar bag Here's a picture of my rig from my last cycle tour (front/blue bike): http://www.damdetails.com/uploads/ff01369fc6a929d5d2f4ad863938b392.jpg € 239,00 is fine and it looks like you are in a convenient location for me to collect the bike from the Frankfurt International Airport. Would I come to Martin-May-Str. 7, 60594 Frankfurt a.M to get the bike? What time do you open? I arrive at 8:35AM on June 2. How would I pay for the bike? Do you require pre-payment, or do I pay when I get the bike? Thanks for all your help. |

| Like in 2015, Brent's brother, Doug, came out from Vancouver to visit and then take us to the airport. So, I canceled Plan B (Michel) and Plan C (Alamo rental truck). Yay for Doug! |
