That's a simple, single speed bike. I bet it would be pretty fun to ride.

Garth,
I was able to adjust/move the levers with the cables installed. Just need
to pull the brake lever and stick a long allen wrench in behind the pull

The only way to do it better IMO is a custom that copies the setup but in
