Got this piece of junk from a customer a week ago. She bought a brand new Author Unica, and came with this one with her. When I told here that in this condition it's kinda worth next-to-nothing she just gave it to me
The story that I found on the web (and it was kinda tough to find anything about the brand "3 Trip") is that they where sold in the Biedronka supermarket back in '15(something simmilar to Wall-Mart, except smaller, and the only thing that isn't marked by the name "Biedronka" is Coke in stupid 1.5l bottles, and Monster energy drink). They were priced at 120$ when new.
The condition of it is so bad (Only 3 gears out of 7 work, the brakes literally don't exist, every screw and nut corroded very badly), and it is made with the cheapest possible parts, that I have absolutely no regret doing anything to it.
Yesterday I dug out some parts that were laying around in my garage & workshop:
This piece of an old chair:
These sweet pre-WWII wing nuts for the front wheel:
Also a set of red Sapim nipples for the wheels:
And two Kenda Kommuter 26x2.0 tires:
The plan is to go to my friends workshop today and do some cutting & welding
