Imlach's Sweaty Hippie Funk Collection, adventure bikes, rusty rats, cruisers and other alt bastardisations of bicyclery

In my bicycling life, I am trying not to allow the quest for perfection to get in the way of finding adequacy. This bike helps me see how valid that is. I see my RockRat reflected in that bike, doesn't need to be perfect, it is my favorite bike to ride

Although my reaction was similar to Bob's, I like this view. I am not on a quest for perfection, but sometimes believe it could be achieved somehow. To me it seems this is on the opposite side of the spectrum. Not mocking, mind you. I like humble bicycles to remind me it doesn't have to be perfect. Or as they say about cameras; the best one is the one you have with you.
 
When is the last time you made a frame for a bike show in less than a day, from scrap steel you had laying around the yard? That is pretty awesome in my books. Hard to do, probably much easier just to mock it
15 years ago I suspect.
was a VW show, staying over night, wanted something to ride around on, so build a chopper out of a kids bike. Somewhere there is a picture of it on the roof on the Golf with a pair of ammo crates that turned into a camp kitchen.

I don't do that sort of thing anymore. :(

as to the bike, it's shite, but that's kind of the point.
