• so glad i didn't snap the marin up when it was listed in the local classifieds/marketplace.. :)

    also: kikűggyek neked egy kempinget? :D - this is a hungarian inside "joke", not sure if it can be properly explained. but it involves a crappy little folding shopping bike and nostalgia for those who lived during communist times/grew up during the 90s in hungary.. :)

  • Csepel > Brompton!!! Ha egyszer sok penzem lesz, epiteni fogok egy agyonpimpeltet, valami komoly flip-flop festessel.

  • No idea what this means, but, catching up on your thread, and seeing your exchange with hma on Hungarian bikes, I thought I'd share my very own. I brought my "Budapest" bike back with me after I lived there for a bit and was commuting with it. It's at my parents in France now but I really hope to use it again at some point.
    That's the only (weirdly assembled) picture I can find of it atm. I was told back then that it must have been built pre communist era, otherwise it would have been a "Csepel", but I don't really know for sure. Had the coaster brake serviced by a LBS before leaving Budapest and spare parts weren't an issue for them.
    Good memories with that bike!
