Just finished putting together my touring/commutery thing. I initially painted this bike ~10 years ago when it was gonna be my first 'fixie' but thankfully realised the geom was way off for that. It ended up being my touring bike and has done a fair few tours now. The rattle can job got very tatty so recently resprayed it and updated a few bits.
One summer when I was home from uni I decided to weld up some goofy bars that have four brake levers, I have ended up keeping them (and surprisingly actually enjoy using them) . The bike has always been on the large side for me, however I find it very comfortable and am yet find the desire to upgrade to something decent which weighs <1000 kg. Anyway, my attempt at turd polishing!
