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
 
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

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.

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.
