VINTAGE DUTCH BICYCLE (PRICE REDUCED) IN SOUTH AFRICA

(Price includes tire pump, puncture kit and bike lock) Stylish and sleek vintage commuter bicycle in Jaguar green. Perfect for a springtime Seapoint Prom evening ride or a thrifting spree down Obs Lower Main. Just imagine you in your sunglasses, going slightly faster than is comfortable down Kloof Street, doggo in the front basket, and your picnic stuff on that back shelf-thing above the wheel. You're protected from Tigers Milk's Thursday night residues by the noice mud guards, and can alert pesky cars and too-slow-pedestrians of your presence with the dynamo powered front and back lights (that's right - batteries are a thing of the past with this vintage bike: you power the lights with your pedals, baby). Your friends at Blondies comment on how rad your bike is. You reply, "this old thing? I got it on bikehub." (not a paid promotion) You don't do the usual - which is why you enjoy the fact that your bike has an internal gear system, back-pedal brakes AND hand brakes, which are all great things because (insert technical bike jargon here). It's vintage, but in that corduroy jacket kind of way - which is exactly why its the ideal look for your bicycle for right now. The current owner (who is writing in the third person) can vouch for its ideal condition - running smooth with a hint of history. They had an ambitious Christmas wish to get into cycling, but later realised it wasn't actually their thing. It's currently sitting in their 5th floor flat (adjacent to the mid-century table and chairs), burdened with potential and eagerly awaiting a new owner to enjoy its freedom, storage capacity, and resonance with that classic Jag aesthetic.
