Using Hausmann and Vogel's homology sphere bundle interpretation of algebraic K-theory, we construct K-theory invariants by a theory of characteristic classes for flat bundles. It is shown that the Borel classes are detected this way, as well as the rational K-theory of integer group rings of finite groups.
