Perfect Dublin Bike

The perfect Dublin bike.

Runs absolutely perfectly… looks like complete shite. Exactly what you want.

Parked it on Camden Street for 3 years and nobody even bothered stealing it. That’s basically the highest anti-theft certification available in Ireland.

21 GEARS of absolute commuter fury.

Recently had the entire gear system fully replaced in Penny Farthings for €172, so mechanically it’s spot on and rides beautifully. Smooth shifting, solid brakes, comfy upright ride — just cosmetically “well loved”.

Ideal city/pub/shop/college bike where you can lock it anywhere without having a heart attack.

Technical specs (roughly):
• Jupiter Newport hybrid commuter
• Steel frame
• Estimated frame size: ~20–22" / Large (fits approx. 5’10”–6’3”)
• 700c wheels
• Shimano 3x7 drivetrain
• 21 gears
• Flat bar commuter setup
• Full mudguards
• Rear luggage rack
• Chain guard
• Hybrid road/city tyres
• Rim brakes
• Surprisingly fast
• Surprisingly reliable
• Surprisingly unattractive

The chain has a bit of Dublin surface rust aesthetic but the bike genuinely rides perfectly.

Would probably survive nuclear winter.
