It is a nice wheel.

Took a couple more badly lit pictures today before putting the 80mm SIDs back on.

What's with the Penguin? Did Kevin do this and the paint?

Yes indeed, mitring, welding and painting all done by the talented Mr. Winter.
Frame was a 30th present from my wonderful wife, although I had to wait until I was about 30.5 before I could ride it.

The penguin used to be his headbadge, but was a special request for this frame as now he tends to use a stylised W logo.

More pictures to follow...

Wotcher Jackie, how's tricks? Not nearly as much riding as I should, other than commuting.

That said, the commute to the shed can take anything up to about three hours and be potentially ninety-five percent off road.

And lunch break can be Blanchland moor on occasion, if there's paint drying.

Hoping to do some painting tomorrow as it happens.....
