I got this when looking for a new bike last September. I was going for a Cannondale Topostone 2 or a Focus Atlas 6.7 EQ.
Since it’s mostly for commute and I needed a child seat, kick stand, and fenders the seller from the bike shop recommended a steal endurance bike from Contoura.
It’s a small German brand but I’m overall very impressed by the quality (I felt from the first ride, steal gives lots of confort).
I’ve replaced the 32 tires with a GP 5000 AS TR 35 and the saddle with Selle Italia Max SLR Gel Superflow. The steam as replaced in the bike shop after I felt the reach was too far.
Tire clearance with fenders is limited to 37-38. I’m thinking about having a second pair of wheels with off road tires.
The model is FE-13 with hydraulic disk brakes and 2 by GRX 400 drive train.
It gives me always a reason to go outside and ride, including now in the winter.

Tempelhofer Feld also a nice place for concerts
Sad in a way- I flew out of there July 7, 1974.
I never cycled in the direction of Tempelhof in those days. I was stationed at Andrews Kaserne and often rode through the Grünewald and up to Teufelsberg. My last couple of months in Berlin, I used to put in 20 miles each evening after work, in preparation for a tour in the US when I flew home. We had only the one natural hill in Berlin to practice on, so going over the Blue Ridge in Virginia was a bit of a shock to the legs!
