It's red, but ah well pink would be sick, lefty lever is how uk bikes are, like in cars, usa steering wheel is left hand side, but uk is right hand side
its pretty much the norm for every bike in the uk, except imported bikes from america. Actually, thinking back to christmas when i got it, the lever was on the right side of the bars, i gave it a go and it felt really odd to ride with it like that, so i put it over to the left, and its staying like that,
And I am left handed actually, but it doesnt affect what side i have the lever on
Dropouts look kind of "squarey", not sure how to put it.
Love your rear rim.
Keep on truckin'
