Degenkolb is a tall rider, and as such has a long reach from saddle to bars, thanks in part to a 140mm stem.
This bike is equipped for sprints, with thumb shifters mounted on the drops. As a developing classics rider, he also has a shifter on the tops - perhaps for when he's smashing the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix.
Shimano supply the Dura-Ace groupset and wheels, He runs PRO handlebars, stem and saddle.

But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one.
