haha i'm not particularly! Sorry if i have put this on the wrong forum... the bike cost me £70 and i spent about £20 'doing it up' as i have no money, i thought that in itself justified beater status. oops.
it's a shitty old halfords frame that's just had a respray... plus it does have 27" wheels and it will be getting bar tape soon. I like the brakes that way and as i'm the one riding it, that's probably ok.
haha thanks... yeh i chickened out and got rid of it, fail of a first post.
