Same here, I lived near the North Sea coast for about 18 years. But I had no pshycic hints or anything ;-) The appearance of your project (which I like even more because of its 'bastard'/parts bin build style) made me think of purpose-built bikes like these that are very popular in Dutch winters for the past couple of years, the beach racing season:

Thanks @Chak, @negaatio and @peter_v!
It's an utterly bastardized set up really, shimano 600 tricolor rear derailleur on a mtb cassette, fsa team edition carbon road cranks, an outer big chain ring grinded down to a chaingaurd and a shimano bar end shifter. Sram s500 levers and pro plt bars. Fork is full carbon which is nice but the tyres on the other hand weigh a ton. No complaints though I like it. Wasn't intended to be any more serious than it turned out.
@peter_v I used to live right on a beach in the Mediterranean for almost half my life but not any more. Mentally=beach life forever. Bike/garage is in Scandinavia. What kind of connection did you make btw?
