I had a Shaun the Sheep rucksack back in my motorcycling days. Useless capacity and not waterproof, but looked hilarious stretched around motorcycle leathers with his arms and legs flailing around when you rode.

Nice work! Some seatposts are never the size they are, but for sure it certainly does look like it's dropped below the 26mm DIA it once was. You might be able to shim it slightly to prevent overstetching the seat tube clamp or use carbon paste to help the seatpost stay in place. That Kalloy...

Or the HUGE dork disk, it might out fly an Aerobie...

That's one stunning machine. Great month again with a huge spectrum of bikes in the mix to make it interesting and mess with my head what to vote for! 🤪

Thats clean, but the earlier Kuwahararara's appeal to me more with their creative paint finishes and cleaner lines thanks to more delicate/less oversized tubing. The fork blades on that one look quite clunky, almost as if they are off a BSO!

Ha! I used to throw lots of stuff out and i’m Still haunted by some of my actions. Not anymore though! Hence the need for a bigger garage/workshop! Buying anything abroad these days can be quite a costly experience!

:oops::eek::eek::eek::eek: Me and Phill are both disgusted by your actions! ;) As the famous saying goes, one mans strap is another mans treasure...

Just looked back to the original photo to fully appreciate the front mudguard again and it really looks like it belongs on a Massey Ferguson! I also noticed it came with a GT studded saddle from 1991, not sure how I missed that! Would you be interested in selling? No idea on condition of it...

You could probably make one easy enough. I need to make one for a late 80s MBK... when I get chance!

Very cool. Love the carry strap!

Great tyres! They look awesome. Tube wise, keep looking, but many self destructed BITD and no doubt even more prone to self destructing some 30 years on. I had some and reserved them for racing only and eventually gave up on them, but kept the dust caps so I can pretend I have them fitted!!! 😜...

Sounds like @TheRadioGuyUK did some serious tinkering. Would love to see pics if you have any...

Crazy condition. Never did suspension (hence battered body!) but had a few friends who had these.

I’ll keep an eye out too. Don’t forget you could always get a silver post and get it cerakote’d black which is super tough and thin so wouldn’t impact it fitting. It’s funny despite the huge slump in prices for bikes some things still hold their value. Also worth posting in the Wanted section...

XT seatpost would suit build nicely @PhillB as it's nicely understated and not to blingy with CNC'd clamps etc. Have you now got a forearm like Popeye after cleaning that paint up?!* 💪 🥵👏
