Yep. Not that that's any reason to actually buy one, but fwiw the Sachs is a total nerd magnet: Not only does some cyclist inevitably say "Nice bike!" on nearly every ride I go on, but I've twice had unkitted pedestrians walk by, recognize the brand, and shout out some accolades. One of them even ran across the street to exclaim "Wow, I thought that was a Richard Sachs but I had to check to be sure. I've never seen one in person before!"
