Hello everyone,
I'm from São Paulo, the biggest city in Brasil and always looked RRB to get some ideas for my ride. It's hard to costumize a bike here because of the few options of cool acessories and parts, so you have to adapt some stuff, search others in the internet and be luck (the customs/aduana here are very restrictive)
I try increasingly to use my bike intead of my car (the traffic here is bad) and the style of my ride is kind of a reflex of the conditions here. A lot of bumps and holes in the street, so it a moutain bike with fat tires and front suspension. A lot of traffic, so a chopped the handlebars to gain agility between the cars. Not a flat city, so the gears really help.
I "rusted" my bike by sandind and passing some hydrogen peroxide. The lights are that $3 chinese push-to-lighten.
Heres some pics. Hope you like. And sorry for the poor english
