I bought this wonderful Dutch bike when living in Amsterdam, and I'm sad to see it go!

£189

Made in the Netherlands, it runs very smoothly and braking is simple: just pedal backwards!

A front rack comes fitted: perfect for attaching a crate or basket for easily transporting shopping.

1. Frame height is 60cm, but this bike would fit men of most heights
   (I'm 5"8 and ride with the saddle a few inches raised), and taller
   women.
   

2. One gear, with a coaster brake for stopping (pedal backwards)

3. Double-butted steel frame: total weight of bike is 22kg.

4. 28 inch wheels with distinctive cream tires.

5. Both wheels have picked up knocks, but nothing severe that would
   interrupt with braking or rubs on the frame.

6. You'll notice the odd section of rust around the bike from the
   photos, but as this has generally been kept inside it's generally in
   good condition.

Pick up is in East London.

This wonderful compact bike has served me well, now forced to sell due to lack of storage space.

Here's the official description:

The Wren Original combines the charm of vintage style with the practicality of contemporary design and components. Purpose-built for city cycling, this sturdy 3-speed model is equipped with bespoke luggage racks to carry all you need for your day.

The bike's rrp is £590, I'm looking for £400.

It is a fantastic bike and really great for getting around London. There is some (very) superficial scratches and rust, other than that is it in excellent condition.
