Custom built Swift in Brookyn

I bought a custom built Swift bought from Brooklyn Recycle A Bike. I configured it wtth a 9 speed Shimano Alfine internal hub. The bike's build and setup was perfect...and I mean perfectl Everything about it, accessories,every washer and nut was installed perfectly.

I love this bike.

Each year ffor 4 years = I bring it to Mexico in a suitcase - to an island off Cancun. The island is known for RUST problems - just like you are on a boat in the ocean. The bike still looks great and works perfectly. And Recycle A Bike gave me great support the times I couldn't put it back together again.

I would drive 100 miles to go only to Recycle A Bike, and I would buy another Swift in an instant.

And BTW, the local Mexicans are always offering to buy it. When I walk the bike down the main street, I swear I get a thumbs-up quite often from the store owners.. It's so cool...like I care

...it's so cool because the locals can appreciate a great bike when they see it.
