Hey Dr. O
have cycled a fair bit in India, major cities & country roads. If think I can confidently say it's going to be a fare while before the red light debate takes hold on the cycling forums of Mumbai.
You can buy a brand new Hero™ for just over a score, the mechanic (sic) will assemble it with the help of a non specifically sized open ended spanner and a ball-pien hammer.
An extra couple of quid gets you the Miller single bulb 6V dynamo bulb set, a bell and bespoke top tube protector.
If you intend to do any major distance I recommend that you take a big/fat squishy arse foam/gel tech saddle with you. Oterlieb panniers are handy, royal spoke cards a must and the biggest horn you can lay your hands on. phnaar phnaar
