Truthfully, I think it looks really dull. Sorry. Probably great to ride though. Actually with steel forks it's probably not. Sorry again. 😀

You know she'll catch up with you sooner or later. Then you'll be subjected to some high level soft furnishing conversation.
That's more than any man can take.

This has gone all "off topic". Can we get back to the OP's original question "whaddya think" of the bike pictured above, or have I logged on to SFW, Soft Furnishings World???

Very nice but since the seat tube is bent can you lower you seatpost all the way?

Ross Kemp and Bob Hoskins love child, brake levers to far forward / down, non fashionable fat flat pedals fitted, non fashionable high rise bars fitted, those tyres may be fine for riding on a sheet in a white room but they would suck in the FOD and how can you possibly align your logos with valves if you haven't got any. Fail.
