I have to say, I enjoy the intentional half-arse sand blasting job. like something left over from the zombie apocalypse. The colour co-ordination of the grips, augmented forks and saddle score a few points as well.

Apologies for the out of focus main shot only took one shot and the auto focus didn't go to where it should.

Flying Pigeon PA-02 single speed, 2nd St New York NY

Flying Pigeon PA-02, new york city, single speed, bicycle, vintage, rusted, in bad shape, needs a bit of love, in need of restoration

This bike clearly hasn't seen much action of late but she would have been a beauty back in her day. I love how the pannier racks fold out. Neat.

Malvern Star, Collins St, Melbourne

There ain't nothing on this bike that is new and that's what I love about it even the bell! Maybe a coating on the frame to stop further rusting but that's about it.
