hi there

i found this forum in my search for info about enik and thought this would be the place to ask.

i just bought this enik racing bike and wondered if anyone could help me with an estimate on the building year. i would like to know whether it was made in Germany or the far east. the groupset suggests start 90ies, but i don't know for sure when the production moved. i can't fnd any number stamped in the frame...

thank you very much for your help!

The paint job also points to the early 90ies.

wow, you guys are great. thanks a lot!

i was hoping this would be one of the last one actually made in Germany, but i'm not too sure thats the case. it seems like a really decent bike though.
is Enik a respected trademark or just plain average?

It is not very collectible but a good bicycle for a fast and relaxed ride. Enik built more commuters than racing cycles.

This kind of paint job is very typical for the age. The tubeset (columbus Aelle?) is more on the heavy side but stable und this is definitely a bike to have a lot of fun for years. Enjoy!
