@non-fixie I miss brasília. I was born there, eleven years after the official inauguration. I grow up in the city. Brasília has a picturesque relation with a bicycle know as Nuven or Nuvenzinha. Created from a modified Monareta is usually attributed to Zé do Pedal, a famous character of Brasília bike scene. A documentary about him was filmed
.
A few local shops start to fabricate the frame and assemble components in an unmistakable style that results in a bicycle without any specific brand that is strongly associated with the city.
A friend of mine, also from brasília, has one here in Manaus.
