Nice.

What was the total bill for stuff you actually had to shell out for?

It looks like your front wheel is about to get chewed by a crocodile (or is it a 'gator?).

It dosent look like there is a recess in the upper jaw for the lower fourth tooth, so it cant be a crocodile.

That's not dissimilar to my Solitude's current incarnation.

Mary bars mate the right way round for the rise but I prefer the feel on the wrists with them upside-down like I had them on my old bike for some reason
That's looking pretty normal these days mike ๐Ÿ˜‰

No chance woody , the idea behind this was to Have a cheap wreck that wouldn't get nicked and I could leave in the garden to grab quickly when needed rather than getting my posh bikes out but it kinda evolved into something a bit more, as is always the case lol
