Hello new to the forums, I'm here for some information on my bike.
The frame says 'Germaan' and 'corsa', a make which I have never heard of, and can't find anything on the internet about. Does anyone know anything about the make/style?
I will post pictures below...
or at least try

    had a look in the archive section and nothing, is there something you have seen there? could you point me in the right direction?

    That's really helpful... obviously you're trying to be smart, but if you really were you would have tried the search yourself and realised there is little to no information about the bikes on the internet. Which is why I am asking here :D

    and there is, and if you rooted through some of those links you'd see it, but if you can't be are*d that's your loss.

    Believe me we have. Anyway, if you aren't here to be helpful why other. I don't have time for people like you.

    Calm down.

    Why are you asking on this forum when there is a dedicated forum for vintage bikes?

    I am was looking for a general forum because I have a general interest in bikes, I have a few mountain bikes and the odd road bike, I generally browse, I am not signing on the a vintage only site because i only have one older bike in a much larger fleet.

    now.
    i have looked about on the internet, the company finished up in 63. i know the origins of the bike and so forth, what i was actually looking for are peoples opinions of the bike and brand: has any had any experience? do they often see them knocking about? how hard are parts to find for it?

    when mentioned above you have to look harder, if you know where any information was located because you have seen it, you could have just left a link which would have been helpful instead of making assumptions about my personality, which frankly is just plain rude and bordering on hostile. a bike forum is hardly a place where you would expect to find trolls....

    i am still looking for information and if there is anyone out there with any experience of these bikes i would love to hear more.

    cheers

    They're still selling them in sports direct, think yours is last years colour scheme though

    I couldn't find anything about Germaan using Google either. It might be a rebadge sold by an LBS or a department store bike. It looks like a 70s British frame to me.
