Sub-titled 'Bank Holiday Beater'.
Wearing this 'el cheapo' BreitBling 7T32 clone - a Racer (Orient) HFA019-70 this morning.
Picked it up as a non-runner off the Spanish classified site Todocoleccion, last month for 9 Euros.
It had suffered what appeared to be a fairly serious battery leak, but fortunately it was mostly the dry white powdery residue, rather than 'acid'.
