I got this bike for $10, mostly because it had a "drum brake" Turns out instead its a band brake. The bike appears to be Korean based on the decals. I have no idea what they say, assuming its like other bikes will be "ride safely, wear a helmet, make sure latches are done up properly before riding, not for use offroad or stunting" etc. Other people's photos show that its been sold under than names "Soltar" and others too. Components are fairly rubbish - the derailleurs are cast with "Falcon" on them, and the brake levers are plastic. Gear shifters are grip-twist but have no name. The bike came with some plastic fenders/mudguards but they were sun-brittle and badly cracked. Front brake is dried and hardened, back brake works perfectly. Chain is rusted beyond salvage, and the cables all need replacing. HOWEVER the main hinge has a massive amount of play in it - under front braking the hinge flexes upward. If this is unfixable the bike is a write-off.     20150612101715-26150.jpg 485 x 690 45.12 KB     20170715_chainstay-decal.jpg 1688 x 3000 45.12 KB     20170715_clamp.jpg 3552 x 2988 45.12 KB     20170715_decal-aft-of-hinge.jpg 2988 x 5312 45.12 KB     20170715_frontmech.jpg 2988 x 4428 45.12 KB     20170715_handlebars.jpg 2988 x 4945 45.12 KB     20170715_headtube-badge.jpg 5312 x 2988 45.12 KB     20170715_hinge-decal-warnings.jpg 2651 x 4333 45.12 KB     20170715_maintube-decal.jpg 2988 x 5312 45.12 KB     20170715_rear-band-brake.jpg 2988 x 5312 45.12 KB     20170715_rear-mech.jpg 2988 x 5312 45.12 KB     20170715_right-side.jpg 2656 x 4580 45.12 KB     20170715_seat-tube-decal.jpg 4072 x 2080 45.12 KB     blnzfowijiundtybmszo.jpg 800 x 800 38.76 KB     folding-bike-motto-lespo-200-jane-and-bloor_7999694.jpg 400 x 600 58.74 KB     gpkhdwcgm5ib4oeur60x.jpg 800 x 800 30.08 KB     hqa2tar6zhl8lcdlklnv.jpg 800 x 800 34.61 KB     jpgotjqr3okv7lwbmkhn.jpg 800 x 800 40.22 KB
