the bike evolves to your riding style.
This
In the words of Flann o'Briens Sergeant Pluck:
Be warned. Never allow your bicycle to live in close quarters with humans, because their atoms might get mixed up.
People who spend most of their lives riding iron bicycles . . . get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of the bicycle as a result of interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who nearly are half people and half bicycles
I get it. So this is what funky d wants to put together, more like, a beater, not a rat. Then funky d wants to ride the bike without any maintenance, with absolute neglect and turn it into a rat. That makes sense to me.
