Yes, I do have!
On the Heylight: Custom 29.4 post, 80 euros through Rogolls - a bargain! The Swift did 50 euros at a local shop - a bargain too!
Aquafade!
This leaves no room for doubt: Fat Chance Yo Eddy!
A King indeed. The valvecaps are of an Englund TotalAir convertion.
Zooka, 40 euros at local shop - another bargain!
Vrooooam...
Schoorl trail, the Netherlands
In fact, to me the whole bike is a bargain. It gives me so much joy!

The Brooks is like just out of the box. Currently is has the the comfort of like it is made out of wood, but they are said to be excellent performing and comfortable after a quite long break in period. 5000 miles? Maybe, I will see.
Actually, besides a few minor things the whole bike is like just out of the box. It is rustproofed with Mike Sander's too! Very effective and and highly recommendable.

Thank you
Only the 2 last pics are by me. The others are by Erik aka Boss. Boss also made a pic of the Eddy and his mint SuperSierra:
The pic of I and Eddy cornering was even featured in DirtRag, what I considered very Cool:
I hadn't expect they would publish it as I am not wearing a helmet. That why I added that title.
On the detailling issue: The bike is now period correct except for:
- The lime SpeedStuff protection, but I do want to protect my stuff and, okay, the colour matches good
- The pedals, but at least they are called '24 Oldschool'
- The Englund internals of the Judy, but I won't let a single tear because of that
It is a bit an odd Auquafade with the red parts. I acquired the bike with the red Kooka cranks. I could have part them out, but I decided to stick to the red way. I like the way it turned out.
