The paint job looks to be in really nice condition. Double thumbs up.

Here's my work bike for the year. I've been working in Eastern Idaho a lot since January, two weeks there, then home for two weeks. I rented a really nice bike from the LBS but that got expensive after the first weekend. I purchased this all original Giant Boulder from a local listing for $40. I gave it tune up in my hotel room and added a few things from home. Not sure of the year. It's a lower spec bike with Shimano SIS parts but has been a great ride. Seat post is seized and it's a bit big for me but I really like the way it rides. I've put several hundred miles and counting on it so far. I store it in the maintenance room at the hotel during the weeks I'm home and once this job is finished I'll be giving it away.
@Jimmy2021 your work bike deserves to be shown!

My most ridden bike: goes down to the allotments, takes me to and from my workshop in Altrincham almost daily - has no fancy components 100% parts-bin build, plus this 1997 frameset cost me £80 on ebay from a very nice Gentleman in London - I took bubble wrap and packing tape with me and brought this frame and forks back up north on Avanti West Coast line - effectively re-patriating it to where it originated from
I like this frameset so much I just bought myself another one from 1996 and will be building that one up for fear the above ever gets stolen or accident damaged etc.
