enjoy a sobering glass of positive rep.

and then move on, try and forget,
for those whose bikesnob moment has passed there are only painful memories, drugs, the gradual slide into hopeless incontinence and the mercy of a dignified death....

How does it ride? As you know never had it made up, looks like you done it proud. love the workmanship, Pongo style, was clearly a very active man in his time-probably a classic in the making....

It rides great, riding position is like being on the drops, and once you are used to it no probs, but havent done a long distance ride on it yet, only about 10k in one siting so far.

Next time i am in CG i will pop by for you to have a spin - though its got Time Atacs on it now.

According to my Hipstometer, now that it has been through the BSNYC Korectionizer , it is now worth at least 2 arrospok, a set of Double straps and a fistfull of hypster cysts

I like the overall look of the orange bike, but plastic toe clips and enough extra strap that you could actually trip over it? Shame. That top tube looks really long!

I think the chainline is spot on, maybe it's the camera angle. I agree about the pedals/clips/straps which are temporary.

Chainline is correct, the back wheel just isn't quite in straight.

+1
Then again, if you're stupid enough to make a politician-themed bike you can't realistically be expected to do something as hard as holding a camera straight.

Who actually wants to read their hub though?!
my front wheel is the wrong way round and it matters because the tread pattern will not disperse water as well... so today - I'm gonna sort it.

How can a front wheel be in the wrong way round (with the exception of wheels with integrated braking systems)?

hub logos should be readable from rider's perspective... and line up with the valve hole.
