I underplayed how busted it was. Slick tires, rusty rims. 1995 cheap model of a cheap brand. Simplest Shimano gear shifting mechanism, obsolete thumb push. Plastic brake handles. Blue, pink, fluo yellow frame paint. Gah, I loved that shitty bike to pieces, I nearly died on it so many times T_T;


"shitty and old" is now "vintage" to the right crowd. someone who owns a crooked bike shop is probably stripping and repainting old cheap frames and marketing them to young hipsters.


Really, I considered this one to have no charm, no vintage, nothing. Really cheap 90s crap from the low end of the generic bike shelves at your mall.
