If it's a back pedal brake it has to be freewheel innit?

A steel fork would finish it off nicely. As you say though it is lovely.

Speedvagen Urban Racer. Something very different. So clean and beautifully finished. Single speed, thanks @chickendrumsticks . Appears to have a back pedal brake. Carbon fork I feel the chainguard could be improved.View attachment 702699 View attachment 702700 View attachment 702701 View attachment 702702 View attachment 702703 View attachment 702704 View attachment 702705 View attachment 702706 View attachment 702707

So I hate this and love it at the same time.

What a posh fecking coaster setup is that? I like that.

The colour is god awful.

Had it been black it'd have been much nicer.

Also it's too tubby looking. I should know.

Capricorn town bike. A fancy bike being used

Capricorn, hub geared light tourer. I like this a lot. Quite a strong French influence I feel.

Guessing they made it 'Tubby' looking to balance out the plastic fork an stupid tapered headset (bicycles did fine with straight headtubes for over 100 years TYVM.). If it had a nice straight blade steel fork straight headtube and was in Emerald green metallic it would be perfect.
