Welcome to the club! Funky colours.
I also bought another bike this year which was (for the first time ever) not to replace another bike.

Seriously thinking about building a Pashley Guv'nor clone with the frame... for the Rat Rod Bikes.com annual build-off.
See, this would be a cool transformation:

Looks like you could get real close to the look of the Pashley but the fork definitely has to change.
Have fun. New bikes bring great joy.

Riding like its 1990
walmart fixed gear. Hope the welds hold up. Could make a path racer if there is clearance in the rear. It's worth a shot. Why not find an old beach cruiser and slap the fat coaster wheels on it? strip the frame to bare steel and let it naturally age. Good rat-rod fodder.

Yes, you can do something fun with it! Make it into everything your LHT isn't! 
That's the beauty of having more than one bike; you don't have to try to make The One Bike do everything.

Thinking about making it a "beater" fast bike, but pretty much anything I put on it will increase its value 500%.

Dude, you have to keep the pink fork.
