Just been out playing on it in the sunshine and realise how much I love its simplicity.
Bad Boy SS. 14T at the back and 34T Oval at the front. And today I added stickers because it makes me feel 14 again.
I'd love to know the reasoning behind a rigid Lefty. I plumping for "Because it looks weird."
As I've done my chores I may even ride it to the pub now.

That's not a pub bike. There's no rust on it.

That's way too nice for a pub bike. Away and throw it in the canal for a while, get some algal growth on it.

Inside the bolt holding the front wheel on. Check it out.
If it helps qualify then the rear tread rubber has detached from the casing in three large places. I really need to get some Evostick in there.
Oh and the previous owner has dinged the seat stays and has painted random areas of the bike with rattlecan matte black.

Not so happy now. Just rode to the pub to find all the TV sat vans outside as they cover the Didcot stabbings. Even had a Daily Mail reporter at my house several miles away as the previous tenant was bezzy mates with the guy they are searching for.

Nice! But pub bike? One of our definitions is broken - mine is one of these (not my pic) but with more rust and stranger stem/bars config:
