Boys in the mountains fabricate their bikes which are a sort of training tool for the bigger but fairly similar bikes their parents use to transport vegetables/fruits/grass from their farming lots higher in the mountains.Salutations-Laurent

Gee, I pity these poor, third-world children who have to build their bikes with their own hands rather than head off to the nearest Walmart where their parents will shell out the big bucks to buy them a shiny, new bicycle.

Jack...These are better than the store bought units:the spare parts bin grows in the backyard!Seriously,these kids look up to their parents/older siblings who also build their own to haul crops from the fields usually higer up in the mountain.These do travel fast and have to pick the best pieces of paved surfaces spared by the washouts.Brakes are basic so are the seats which rattle that part of your body;I have tried just to see!!!I attach photo of the adult/work version.Salutations-Laurent
