Here's my Tweeter Bike, purchased at the flea market for a bit more than Sholeh's - $75. Sholeh definitely got the better deal. There are certain key elements that must be met to gain the prestigious title of Tweeker Bike!
1. Spray paint of various colors all over the frame in an attempt to hide the identity of bike so previous owner won't be able to find it.
2. A Frankenstein quality to the accessories.
3. Out of the 15 available gears only 3 actually work and the rider has no control over which gear they'll be lucky enough to get.
4. Mismatched wheels and tires.
5. No kick stand as the rider NEVER stops so it's superfluous.
6. A variety of squeaks, creaks, squeals, clicks and rumbles that make the need for a bell redundant.
So as I do my required training miles, now up to 20, cursing Sholeh as yet another SUV speeds by just a little too close, wondering why I couldn't quite focus on it in my helmet attached rear view mirror I wonder who else had the pleasure of this bike's company and is mine a nobler cause.

Girl, you seem to have a designer bag attached to your bike. Is that an essential accessory?
