My charmingly old bike

Since somebody was itchin' to see my bike, here it is!


Not the prettiest of bikes, but it does its job... with a sort of janky old-style Cambridge flair. At some point, I need to get someone to remove the old shelf-thing from the front wheel (it's kind of useless). Also, the gears and chain need to be wiped down because they are grotty as hell.

  2. The shelf isn't so useless! You can remove your basket sometime, duct-tape a hunk of cardboard (or sheet metal?) to the shelf, and BAM. Charge some gullible tourists for a bike tour, Asian-style.

    I digress. Nice bike. Thank you for the pictures. (:
