"So you are into the whole retro thing?"
No.

"I used to have one of those. Well I didn't but I borrowed one"

Fuck you very much.
It's just a bike.
Then what with the chrome mudguard huh?
They're alu, beaten into shape by a thousand geisha girls or something. They do look ridiculous but are very good, 650b and Freshtripe had them in stock.
