find it absolutely fascinating that the tree branch was able to grow up through and between the boards forming the walkway to provide a convenient propstand for the photo
normally one would expect some eager gardener to have lopped it off long before it was permitted to reach this stature

Love the orange and build. I did appreciate the hold stick first though! Needs to be your trademark.
Of course! My favourite part of the build actually - it's a Suntour MTB thumb shifter that I took apart and mounted to a down-tube adapter. Gotta love that ratchet-action.

Meh. Personally, I like the patina, tells a story about the history of this bike
Cool to know that the decals of this era weren't the best though!
