Three projects for the price of one!
Number one is an Orbit America frame in 531st. I bought this off Scilly.Suffolk (not going to @ people because I'll drag half the board in). I bought it because it was my size and had groovy paint. And was cheap. Here's a picture of it with some bits on in a mock up build:
Here's some close-ups of the paint. It's rusty in places, hence the "rat" status of this bike.
I'm sorry I'm not better at photographs.
You'll see a Sigma stem (?), Soma Hwy One bars, Campag Mirage x Mavic M4 wheels, and a Record seatpost that's too short. There's only about 45mm of post in the seat tube there. The groupset is Chorus carbon 10-speed. I'm not going to photograph that because the light was fading. How is that "rat" you ask? I don't know. Shut up.
Still need a seatpost, the wheels need retensioning, possibly need tyres although I've not checked what I have lying around.
My wife asked me, as I was assembling the bike in our martial chamber, what it was for.
"Cylcing," I replied.
"In what conditions?" she continued.
"Summer."
"How is this different to your other bikes?"
"None of my other bikes are blue."
