It lives! Rides a bit like a Brexit banana (bendy, wibbly, but thatβs probably not helped by the suspension post) and itβs a little over (or under??) geared, and the headset / stack situation is fugly, and it needs luggage capabilities, but for now - itβs done.
Over the coming weeks Iβll be finding a 1β specific fork canti hanger, those pedals are an abomination and will be replaced and address gearing with a larger freewheel (donations welcome). Also will fit a handlebar brace (moto klunker) before I begin to work out why the steering is so squirrelly and a little flexy.

Because all things mean everything to all people.
Is this another internet argument about who is entitled to be disgusted, offended or amused?
From where Iβm standing, itβs either a poorly observed pastiche, a fetishised expression of militaria or a sincerely assembled rolling memorial to armed conflict or itβs participants. Either way itβs fugly and distasteful.

I thought my comments were fairly straightforward @mdcc_tester if perhaps a little glib and lazy. TBH I don't really have much time for anyone either glorifying or pastiching armed forces livery and regalia as I don't agree with what it stands for. The (lucky) owner's experience (if any) within the armed forces has little bearing on that.
Anyway, isn't that an RAF WW2 dark ground roundel with USAF P-51 nose cone livery?

I might be wrong, but crank failure is more likely to be due to a crash, knocks, poor pedalling tecnhique and/or manufactoring defects rather than torquing too much with your strong handsome engine legs.
TLDR; if you've snapped that crank, you would probably snap most. There are certainly stiffer cranks out there but the shear thresholds are usually way beyond what humans can achieve (if anything, due to safety liability).
