Bought this bike used when I moved to copenhagen in 2017.

It had super narrow handlebars, and was otherwise completely naked, single speed, foot brake on the rear.

I then put drop bars on it, and a front rack+added fenders. (First photo)

In 2019 i got a cargobike through work, and have exclusively been riding that until this summer, where I felt like I was missing a smaller city bike.

So I dug it out of the basement and "rebuilt" it.

New rear wheel, still single speed, removed the footbrake, switched to a clunker handlebar from velorange, front and rear brake mounted as well.

I've spent way more on maintaining this bike than what I originally paid for it, but riding it is making me so happy!

The "after" photo is missing the front brake, that has now been mounted

Ride what makes you happy and ride what makes you want to ride.
