The "Manana Project" the tomorow that rhymes with banana




Hello peeps

This is the "manana project" (Spanish for tomorrow but i couldn't spell so what the fuck). The bike is a Bikerton portable its a British all aluminium folding bike. I think it dates back from the late 70's and was the design inspiration for the Brompton. The bike features oddities such as 14" front and a 16" rear, this odd sturmy archer hub with two cables coming out of it, an all aluminium frame that's bolted together and a 58 tooth front sprocket.

Dear problem page

Our relationship started when our eyes meet on a crowded street and i pulled her out of a skip. I haven't paid her much attention and shes pretty much in the the same shape i found her, i think we have relationship issues, especially seeing that we've been together for six months and i haven't had a ride!

I just don't what to do!

Sweet! If you wanna good ride outta her you should slap her around a bit and use a lotta lube. You might need to force it but after I a bit she will learn to take it and like it. Though I doubt I need to tell an Essex boy this.
Take some photos of that hub. I am currious as to what it is. I think they did a 4 speed with 2 cables. Does it have a drum break? it could be a drum break.
Don't forget to dump some motor oil in the hub too.
