The Brown Bomber

So I purchased a bike from my co-worker last Friday for 25 Euros. I didn't mention that we tipped over at a stoplight during side-saddle riding (yes mom I am accident prone). Well apparently, we broke the bike. It started riding horrible yesterday (when I rushed home for the stupid garbage card). I took the bike to a repair shop yesterday, thinking it would be a quick tweaks and few Euros and away I go. Well no such luck! 50 Euros to fix the gear shaft, plus 15 Euro to fix the gear shift (which I knew was broken). Argh! I only spent 25 Euro for the bike. So I thought about just buying a new (used) one. The cheapest bike was 75 Euro and it was not is nice as my bike (now known as the brown bomber - I name all my cars, so now I have named the bike). There was a bike comparable to mine for 100 Euros, I think it is too big (side note -I am a midget here. I can't even reach the floor with my feet on the toilet at home). I decided to fix my bike. (Note the co-worker has offered to return the 20 Euros I had already given her, but I dont think I will take it. I think 85 Euros is still a good deal. Plus I made us fall and broke the bike). I have a feeling this will not be that last time the Brown Bomber will be mentioned in this blog.....

Update: The repairs only came to 37.5 Euros...yippie
