Having got all our work done for this week, I decided to tidy up and in the process ended up piecing this together 😳
Going for quick pootle, will I die? (not on public roads I may add 😯 )

It's an initial built just to check everything, think I might grind all the lugs off and generally tidy it later.
Rides rather nicely, legs feel weird now i've sat down 😕

Add some pedal straps or cleats and you might surprise yourself how easy it is to stop when you have too.
+ Don't have your chain super tight, you'll get a slight droop in the chain when you crank back, makes skid stopping way easier.

nice. why not?

The forks look a lot like those on my Peregrine. Coincidence?

Edit: except they're too long, unless you're rocking 31" wheels.

Is it possible to die from shame?

Yes, you're going to die, and not of shame.. or old age, but in a tangled twisted heap of broken bones and skinned flesh! because of [b]that[/b] bike..
Sorry.. 😥

For some reason I kind of like the look of it, must book myself a doctors appointment soon.

To be honest that blue bike stand kind of puts you off a bit - I think I would need to see your bike against a neutral background to really comprehend its visual gastalt in all its totality.

A red taped moustache bar would go well, as would a 26" front wheel.

You lot are awfully slow, surely somebody should point out the irony of a rigid bike 😀

BB looks too low, especially with those pedals. Going to be interesting round tight corners 😯
