    Sorry to hear that, but not all cities are like NY - here in Taiwan city bikes are everywhere, you can watch this hilariously cheesy advertisement to see how the system works :rofl:

    the head badge is just a sticker with the letter 'i' (don't have photo ready)but it has a decal on the bottom tube you know, that world-famous brand ?:eek: anyway, it looks a lot better now I've removed the basket,front fender, lowered the bars and given it a wash. I just put some air in the...

    Found this thing rusting in an alley and it looked so unusual I thought it'd be a good contender for my first build. I knocked on a few doors and asked around the neighborhood and everyone said the same thing, - it's been there for years, just take it! So I did! I like the way the twin bars...

    Hello from Taiwan!

    Cool, so you know about Taiwan then, I live in Kaohsiung and don't get up to Taipei much, I've only got into the bicycle hobby since I found this forum a few months ago so I've got a lot to discover. When I first visited Taiwan about 20 years ago (wow, that makes me feel old!) it was more like...

    Hello from Taiwan!

    thanks, Taiwan's alright, it's got good and bad points like everywhere I guess, but I mainly like the subtropical climate, friendly people and very low crime rate (no.2 in world after Iceland apparently), there are no 'bad' parts of town. Downsides are the polluted, noisy cities, plus I can't...

    Deer antler bars

    anyone seen these before?? just stumbled upon them on a Taiwanese website, did a forum search and didn't find them anywhere here, look pretty dangerous to me though, if you look closely on this big pic you can see they even have the right texture http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21502234683871

    Hello from Taiwan!

    yep, that's sound advice, doing some research right now and finding some interesting things, although all the factories seem to be in a city 3-4 hours away, there are some warehouses nearby, possibly with cruisers inside them....
