$15 Porn Shop Hybrid

Assbike Magazine scores! I picked up this sleeper for $15 from the Craiglist classifieds. I bought it from a dude who lives above a porn shop.

Most bike purists hate hybrids, but I've always liked them. They're more ridable than full-on road bikes and not as over built as mtn. bikes. And really a hybrid is just a more relaxed cross bike, and pursits love cross bikes.



I dig: The 700c wheels, 28mm slicks, well built steel frame and slim fenders. The wheels are surprisingly well built and the headset is totally buttah.

As you can see, the handlebar has snapped in half, in a crash. Despite this I managed to ride this home. Of course this means there is no rear shifter or brake.

I have a one-piece (Cameron I think) bar-stem which will be perfect for this project.



I picture the build as a lightweight crosser with a flat bar, what I was thinking the Wheeler was going to be. (This officially means the Wheeler project is put on hold).

The one downside is that it has a threaded rear hub instead of a cassette.
