Pre-war Adler

This thing is pretty cool. Looks like the gears are inside the bottom bracket ! Too bad the wheels are missing....Might be missing a few other things.

Anyone know what the "U" shaped bit is on the seat stays ? Looks like the remnants of a rear brake.

U shaped thing is odd - mine didn't have that. I'll have to dig pics of my old one out. I know mine was a Model 153 from 1938.
Only brake on it was in the front.......will try and look in the next few days.
