Is that a wheel lock? Looks beefy. Is the rear reflector part of the fender assembly? Love the pedals--I put oversized bmx style pedals on my Breezer and I love them.
Thanks everyone! Yeah as far as the rack looking off it's just the bipod stand so the front wheel is lifted. The rear reflector on the Bluemels is a Cateye I got off ebay for a fiver. Agree that huge pedals are great, especially as it came with whimpy tiny pedals and I ride in boots.
The ring lock is an Axa Defender which can plug in an optional chain. As someone else mentioned, all those accessories added up (this was the first time seeing the real cost!). Thankfully the Irish govt Bike2Work scheme shaves 50% off the first grand. This is the most expensive bike I've ever owned and only the second new bike I've ever bought. But this is the BMW I will never afford. I also splurged on the Kryptonite NY 3000 and combined with the Axa hope that will be enough of a deterrent. That and I'm keeping my old beater for trips to the pub.
