I’ll sell you mine, though its located in Kaohsiung, so you’d have to come get it. Here’s a description of it I wrote in a different thread:

I drive a second hand bike I picked up for $800NT, complete with a big basket up front and pink lettering on the frame. My brakes squeek so loud that my wife can sometimes hear me coming back home - from 20 floors up. It’s so embarrassing that I now drag my feet on the pavement along with just enough pressure on the brakes for them to not squeek to stop myself. The soles of my sneakers have been noticeably worn down. My wife originally wanted me to buy a little bell or horn, but we’ve since learned that a quick squeeze of the brakes is just as effective. Front brake for a more high pitched whistle-like squeal, rear brake for a lower horn-like sound. Also, I didn’t know it at the time of purchase, but I’ve since found out it’s a girls bike. I’ve almost been hoping someone would steal or smash it so I can get a new one.

Only serious offers will be entertained, so don’t try to lowball me.
