Crud Guard is the least of your worries regarding the aesthetics of that thing, I reckon.

I'll give you a fiver for the Crud guard to take it off your hands and then you'll be fine.
Might go to a tenner to really tempt you. 😉

Dear me! Waterproof shorts are the way to go to avoid spoiling clean lines but, in this case, won't make any difference. 😉

It looks like the kind of thing you'd see a child riding in the street, in a channel 4 'Unreported World' documentary about an impoverished third world country.

The voiceover would explain how the 'thing' had been asembled from a collection of bits gradually found while digging in landfill sites

Apart from the rancid colour of the fork I don't think it is all that bad looking.

Bizarrely, I've seen that beastie in the flesh while it was out on loan.

Sort of like Emmanuel Adebayor. If Emmanuel Adebayor had one leg longer than the other, buck teeth, webbed feet and a hunchback
