Still have less than $200 into this thing (a smattering of bin parts, a new rear tire, plus the $100 spent on it).
Time to submit it for a perusal by the esteemed members of the peanut gallery.
I think I'd prefer white for the bar tape and seat, but I had the tape, stem/bars, and seat tucked away when I scored the bike. If it's a good rider it will eventually sport nitto noodles and a rolls seat.

This is cool, but it looks like there is no space between the tires and caliper. I can't imagine this working very well for gravel riding with those tight clearances.

Outside of Elizabeth Hurley, that's one of the few things I've ever seen come from England that can illegitimately be called hot.

1990 Bridgestone RB1 with mish-mash of early 2000s Campagnolo Record, Chorus and Daytona.
1988 or '89 Trek 520 (sold because too small!)
1990 Fuji Ace aka "poor-man's Black Lightning"

I'm curious how this will be received here. Good ol' American built steel.

Fun, fun bicycle with an eye popping paint scheme which I really like.
One might consider tanwalls such as Veloflex Master 23s, but that's neither here nor there.
You have a "hot" bike there!

New rims and tape since the last time I posted pictures. Curious to see what the community thinks
