Pink tape is a nice touch, what's an ultrasonic cleaner?

given the messy look of the cranks would bother you, a quick sanding/polish could bring back some glamour

I find it hard to build up a lock up bike as it always turns out a little bit better that originally intended. It seams you got carried away as well, that's a nice bike and has some nice components as well. Pink Benotto tape is nice but a little too much eye candy for thieves.

Built a city beater from a frame a had lying around. Concept was to use only parts from the parts bin that look cosmetically damaged, but function ok. Turns out to be a nice cruiser. Mavic hubs spin forever and the campagnolo 9speed shifters + rear function pretty ok on a 7sp freewheel. Cranks are croce d'aune/athena that have been lying in an ultrasonic cleaner for too long, woops...
