I could have washed her for the picture but it wouldn't be a fair representation of reality.
She was designed to be
- dirt cheap (the equivalent of 70 US$ more or less for now in total)
- mechanicaly simple, extremely reliable and easy to maintain
- always usable at a moment's notice
- aesthetic (more important than you'd think if you want to be able to enjoy your bike every day)
I got her when Milei got elected president because I knew he would cut the bus ticket subsidies.
