Oh, sorry. Came with a 15t fixed cog and a 15t freewheel pared with 33t up front. I checked the Marin website and the gearing seems to be spec'd differently there, but with the 29x1.6 rubber the gear inches seem to be a in the manageable low to mid 60s

This seems to be a fairly good buy at under $400.00. Its a Marin, Urban 29r that I picked up last week.
Since then Ive stripped off all the stickers, rear brake, flipped and lowered the stem (have yet to cut the steerer and shorten bars) Turning out to be a hell of a beat around town/trails bike for the money. If one can be had in the UK it would be worth giving it an eyeball. Fork is even disc capable.

Came up with all sorts of items like you request using the term "Brake studs"
Here is one:

A rather fun watch as well.

When I buy new chains I have to completely strip the grease off because it reacts badly to the usual lube I like, I drop it in a jar with a lid then fill 3/4 with mineral spirits and slosh it around for a bit then leave overnight, usually completely clean by next day. Thats my approach when I dont have the ultrasonic cleaner assembled.
Not sure it would be a good idea with a painted chain though......
Curious, why would you want to remove perfectly good lube?
Petrol?

When I wear a watch which isn't too often nowadays, I have a steel and gold Date/Just, T-Bird with Howelite dial.
Second choice would be a steel and gold Submariner with blue dial and bezel. That and an 18K Daytona currently reside in a safe deposit box in a nearby bank, too clunky for everyday.

I do though its mostly smaller pieces of glass, packing staples and micro pieces of metal or wire like that found in wire brushes. Some of that lot finds its way to brake shoes as well.

I could be wrong but it looks just like a bicycle to me.
I have seen these things before in my neck of the woods. I might even go further out on a limb and say it may as well be a fixed wheel bicycle.
Perhaps I should indeed.
Went for my first ride on the beast lastnight, I named it Dave. 18 miles of mostly urban riding. The bike handled pretty well, the thicker rubber helped with the potholes and curbs. The trails are still wet from the 18 inches of snow that has melted away in the past few weeks so I didn't get any trail time in.... The weather is still in the mid 40s with a stiff north wind but I expect to spend a lot of time on it when the weather gets better. Money well spent in my humble opinion.
