2010 Arkus Classic Junior

Hi fellas!
I live in Tarnów and this is my ride, probably the only bicycle/bike presented here - Arkus Classic Junior from 2010. Except things on the photo there’s nothing special - except fact it wasn’t cleaned since early 2014. Anyway, I got it as a gift from my uncle when I had my first communion (2nd May 2010) and I had to learn to drive on the bike to properly use it. When I learned, I was (and I am) pretty happy with this bike. About stuff to fix/add or what have been replaced:

  • I need front light, gonna buy it soon
  • Original rear transmission just went into super saiyan mode, so I replaced it with exactly another one - Shimano Tourney, 6 gears (not 7, it’s just mismatched lever, in fact 7th gear nothing does)
  • Aftermarket wheel covers
  • Rear brakes had been replaced once; I guess I need to do it again, or just fix rear blocks or brake steel line; I don’t know exactly what fucked up and made my rear brakes spongey
  • Maybe cleaning? But well… It’s MTB.
  • I added also line for parking the bike on various spots (I usually stick it to pale or road sign)
  • I need to fix this leg (yuno, this thingy what mades this bike actually stand in one place)

Any opinions, thoughts? :smiley:
Pics were taken today (29.01.2016) in Tarnów at Krakowska street.

EDIT. This bike has 26" rims and replaced rear tyre. Just to make you know.

Not into bikes that much, but that’s a nice one.

Haha, thanks. And it has it’s own soul too after those years (when not “accelerating” by pedals, this bike sounds like wankel on lowest rpms)
