Very nice that, I dont mind a bit of frankenbike.

Hoping to have my drop barred Saracen finished today. It looks most appending in its black powdercoat with black rims, black cantons front, black pedersons in the rear, black post and stem... though when I rummage about in my Box O' Shite for a saddle all I could find was an orange Charge Bucket (a modern Turbo replica) which sounds awful but really adds a nice contrast to proceedings. Just need to finish wiring the dynohub to the lights and nearly route the cables and it'll be finished, ready for a photo.

Was he based on you? I could swear you are one and the same.

He's my brother from another mother.

Was thinking LGF. Same beard, mannerisms. Prone to outbursts etc.

Papa...?!

It's finished. I've kitted it out as a light adventure tourer, so it's not the least porky spec. That said, it rolls well and is very comfortable. A few rides this week to get it all dialled in an it should be sorted.

It's getting a bit dark now so pics tomorrow.
