euroTrash



Here is the latest Ferropur creation: euroTrash

The frame is a restoration of an unknown brand vintage steel road frame. When i found it, it was in pretty good condition with no rust whatsoever, it just needed a new paint job.
John carefully got rid of all the old paint (thanks 4 that!) and a new paint job on gloss black was applied.
In Ferropur we always try to add some signature feature to our bikes. The first rule to be safe on the road is to see and to be seen that's why the decals on this bike are machine cut on reflective material. They are mighty bright when lighted up I'm here to tell you! This way all those lousy car drivers out there should be able to see euroTrash at night. NO EXCUSES! Of course I still strongly recommend to future owners to keep on using lights! I'm sure the police will be happy to remind them too!

The bike is named after our epic 24h team that took part on Kona 24h in Forrest (VIC, Aus) and I must give credit to its "elucidation" to my good friend Lasse. Again the Finns inspiring me for names! (I got moi moi! from another euroTrash member/Finn/friend Ilona, thanks again btw)

Thanks to the Quando Flip/Flop rear hub this bike can be used as a singlespeed or as a fixie so it fits everyday commuters or more purists fixie riders. The MKS pedals are strap ready too.
