It's freaking adorable, and would make a super-cool roundabout town bike for some hipster cutie. The bike was an inexpensive department store bike but was hardly ever ridden and the hub is in perfect condition. Well, was until I took it apart.

I ain't giving up, I tore this bike completely apart- cottered crankset and all- I need to rebuild this hub!
