Brand new, nice colors and everything. Then they became hip and now you have to pay 300 euros for one. I don't think so. I paid as much for my cool retro bicycle with 7 gears and a basket in the front. I remember when the new model Jopo bicyles came out about 5 years ago you could get one for 100 euros.

I'm actually glad as I need a "basic" bike to ride 5km to the kiosk and nothing with 100 gears that'll be totally useless after a winter outside. One of those basic ones just needs some grease and then it can stay the next 6 months behind the barn. The Iltasanomat summer staff seems to google a lot, sort of struck me the past week or so, theres been headlines ripped off the Daily Telegraph and the Sun.

This time I don't even bother to read what they dug up now... New Jopo bikes do look kind of cool. But just because it's Finnish design, I'm not going to pay what they ask for it. Down with the avainlippu! Press do not have enough real news to investigate, so it seems. This time I don’t even bother to read what they dug up now…

I fondly remember all the times spent exploring all those places in the 70's. Oh yes, my childhood stomping grounds in Kantsu and Pirkkola.
