I like this a lot, does it have a fixed and freewheel flip back wheel ?

As said before, it is very shiny! Have you ridden it yet?

Rode it this morning to watch my dad's and brother's team win a top of the table match. We all got wet through, but the Bowery did not faulter!

Lovely looking bike, do you still have it?
I've just bought a Bowery frame which is devoid of a headset! Any idea of bearings etc required as it seems a struggle to source them now that the bike is long defunct

Great looking frame. Don't really understand the handlebars though.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

I bought it from my old LBS in Castleford - Kendell Cycles. Not sure if it's available in this guise anymore.

PS. no idea on the headset question - mine is still alive so I haven't had to work it out!
