The Sachs New Success was a well designed, well constructed and well finished piece of equipment - but Sachs was just not a fashionable name out on the open roads - and it did not sell. A few years after the appearance of this model Sachs gave up the fight and sold their bicycle components division to SRAM.

If you have to bow out, this is not a bad model to bow out with.

I think this is an earlier version of the Sachs New Success, with less cut-away pulley cage plates, sealed bearings in both pulley wheels and dome-headed pulley bolts.
