wipe the WD-40 off your rim before you try to brake!

slicks coming soon
I cleaned up the front rim, it stops very well.
And this bike rides real nice, and the seat is great, (i broke it, i think some spring cracked or somthing...)
The bikes like a early 90's bike... and were i used to live the way the bike was parked cause the fork to look like that...

Yey, got new handle bars! cost me 30eu...
Much faster lol, realy! wind isnt so much a factor any more, im not an air brake!
EDIT: i bought these for my comuter, but the shimano nexus 4 speed shifter didnt fit ARG!
EDIT2: i know the cables a bit short, im too lazy to get a new cable/housing, i have a few meters but im not gona bother... this bike is just for fun, i dont comute, or rely on it..BUT im planing to go on a 25k (one way) trip soon... like AUG4 so i get slicks and stuff before that... and my 600eu well 40 is going for a 20" wide screen... unless i find somthing else... im on a 15" (tft) and its too small....

You have a style all your own, I will grant you that. Give it a rattle can paint job, and it will look a lot nicer. If that is a single speed and not a fixed gear you really should run a rear brake.
Have fun on it.
