Crap fixie

    Hi there,

    I have a crappy fixie and I need to let it go. I bought it about two years ago and used it to cycle in the city with great success and fun.
    It has a flipflop hub, but the freewheel part used to skip easily at minimal power, so I never used it.
    I removed brakes, but I still have them and go with the bike.
    I think the seatpost is seized because I was never able to remove it. So you must be at least 1.85 tall to use this bike, or willing test you mechanic skills against this bike.
    It came with a rack, which is not in the photo, but is part of the pack.
    The lock in the photo is *not* included.
    The chain has more slack than it should for a fixie. I had a couple chaindrops at the begining because of this slack.
    The saddle is a broken ladies saddle from lidl (I swear it came with the bike).
    It has a family of spiders that also go with the bike.
    The bartape is falling apart. I have a new-ish tape that can go with the bike.

    As you see it's pretty crap, and looks like a frankenbike. This actually makes it perfect for the city because nobody would spend any time thinking on stealing it.
    I don't feel like taking any money for it because it's in too bad shape. Also I think there's little chances to find anyone crazy enough to use it and that could actually use it (remember, tall people).

    So here comes the deal. If you want it, you can have it. I won't take any money for it but you can make a donation to some project/charity you like, better if it's bike-related :)

    Any takers?
