The Toaster

[Freeman]

My bike I have put the most miles on over the last few years. A tall frame someone gave me because they were short, a rear coaster brake hub from an old ladies bike that was rotting away in the woods, handlebars from a scrap-yard and other parts sourced cheap here and there. I have 4000 miles on it and it has just needed a new chain each year and this year had to flip the rear sprocket around as the teeth were getting work on one side.

Great story! What’s the frame? Was going to say Pennine but on a closer look the faded lettering doesn’t actually look like it says that! You should put some bar tape on it though, even if it’s budget cork tape. It’ll make the handlebars way comfier and take a surprising amount of shock out your hands and wrists when you inevitably go down a pot hole in the road!

Love it. Props for the seatpost mounted security device.

To make it road legal it should have a working front brake if in the UK I believe

True, but clues like a coaster hub, kick stand and Schrader valves suggest to me that it's on the west side of the Atlantic.
