[Closed] Is it possible to build a MTB entirely from German made manufacturers?

very nearly. with plenty of German accessories too.

But I'd want Belgian or Swiss spokes.

Vy vould you vant ze German bikenzikle?

Whay would that very nearly german bike consist of?

Nicolai frame, Magura suspension and brakes, Rohloff gears and chain, tune finishing kit, cranks adnd chainring, Schwalbe or Conti tyres, cannot think of rims at the moment, anything else missing???

BOR rims (or just a BOR wheelset, but that has Sapim spokes)

Mine would be much the same as above, but maybe some Syntace and Ergon finishing kit.

More a bike I could build, than would build.

some Tune hubs maybe, or a Liteville frame if you didn't fancy the Nicolai

A previous build of mine was a Rotor steel frame (German make, but welded in the Czech republic), Rohloff, Magura, Syntace finishing kit, Speedtec cranks, but Mavic rims, XTR front hub, and some other bits

Liteville - I think - are not welded in Germany, and 2Souls aren't either IIRC, but some custom manufacturers around, of course, such as Noell.

As for gears: Could also use Pinion, or Acros had some hydraulic gears on show once, not sure whether these are available to buy, though...

Can you count SRAM (Sachs) as German or not?

The Acros hydraulic groupset has been available for a while now... https://www.bike-components.de/de/Acros/A-GE-MT-Kettenschaltung-hydraulisch-p28860/

Only Conti make their top end tyres in Germany. Schwalbe are made in Indonesia.

Certainly.

Certainly.

Technically, isn't that a S-boot?

Ooh there's always one smartarse.

Jesus. I think you have described not only the most German bike possible but also the most expensive bike possible.

Expensive? How about some Clavicular cranks.

Rohloff don't make chains any more...

have to be KMC or Wippermann instead.

SRAM were started by some yanks IIRC

Sram is American, but they bought Sachs which was German.

This is STW. What did you expect? 😛
