Well, just a standard GDR production sports cycle, this IFA Diamant. Mind you, it would have set the first buyer back a packet, and would not have been easy to obtain in the first place.

Diamant was one of the best cycle brands pre-1939, during GDR years (this one must be 1970s) it went downhill, and whoever wants a 1980s one (in nice bright yellow) can get one free from me. IFA was the GDR brand for everything on wheels, child´s cycle to lorry, and it isn´t exactly a sign of adventurous engineering or high end production quality, although a good deal better than contemporary Soviet products (of which I also have some to give away).
