There's a place run by our city where jobless people can be bike mechanics. They do repairs, they make nifty accessories, and they also sell fixed-up used bikes for cheap.
Most nifty, they take old steel race bike frames, give them a new coating, and turn them into single, double, up to 7 speed bikes. They don't come cheap but they look super cool.
They had a 2-speed in the colors of the Italian flag in the window, one front brake and a rear coaster brake.
