Help identifying this frame

Could buy this used for a few bucks but need to drive there for over an hour. Anyone recognize the brand of the frame? It’s located in Germany.
I’m planning to build a low budget steel gravel bike.
Also as usual not sure about the size of course…

Upside down front friction shifter

I know this has been covered here but after trying it myself I felt like sharing this little trick again:

If you take a friction shifter supposed for a 2/3 front derailleur and install it upside down on the other side you get a cheap not indexed friction shifter for your rear derailleur. The front shifters aren’t indexed most of the time.
This specific one is a Sunrace SLM96. The rear one is indexed the front one not. It has many micro clicks but that counts as not indexed I guess.

It works like a charm with my DX derailleur and costs a fraction of the microshift thumbies. I also like the position way more that on top of the bar.

FEF - Pizza Rack finally living up to its name and some bikeception

Still amazed how much stuff I’m able to carry on the front rack. Most of the time with my toddler in the backseat
