This bike is awesome. Tough, simple and reliable.
It's an SE Draft from around four years ago.
Single-speed (not fixed gear), so no messing around with fiddly gears.
Probably the best thing is the wheels. The original incarnation of this bike had terrible rims. Within four months I'd broken a total of 12 spokes on the rear wheel, costing over $50 to fix them each time. Eventually I bit the bullet and bought two new rims for $120 each. Great job, Campbell!
But the tyres also sucked. Punctures, tyre splits and general frustration. So around six months ago I bough a set of Schwalbe Marathon reinforced tyres for $80 each. They have a super tough inner-layer that prevents almost everything from getting into the inner tube. They also have a reflective strip on the sides so you'll be super safe at night. Great job, Campbell!
The bike also comes with a combination lock, a rear rack to ensure you'll never get a sweaty back from carrying a bag, pedals that don't cut up your precious leather soles, two lights from ebay and a choice of three stylish helmets! Did I mention you can pump the tyres up at a petrol station? Win!
All this for a bargain $140 ono!
