Description:
It screams of Groma, but it is still not confirmed. It is, however, typical of German machines. Firm but precise, and subtly denser than other Euro makes, and much denser feeling than North American Machines. Bubbling with fifties curves, rather European Fifties curves, it has a confident sense of style but utilitarian functionality.
