I have had my Dawes Kingpin for a couple of years, mint unmolested 'garage filler', scored as a last (of the last) clearance Glumtree reduction @£35.
More recently I picked up this very clean Chinese machine, but the 'drum brake' had to go..... @£35, a snip!
Folders? Ground floor flat = neat for space 😎
Kingpin is now running 36spoke BMX rims (I self built the, eBay scored, SA hub/wheel) Handlebars are BMX but with the crossbar removed = MiniApes.
OldBlue is on oversize tyres and I have gone longer gears [12T sprocket, not factory 16T] and mounted a caliper brake, on a custom bracket, at the back.
New pedals on both & all new cabling.
