farewell
I'll start by saying this is my lock up and forget rat bike. It has a crack in the frame thanks to Bristol Dropouts (or whatever they're calling themselves these days) so I'm not too fussed about preserving the frame, though I might still fit something soft under the stays if this becomes more permanent.
Saying that though, the idea is that it's an ejecto guard that I can remove with just a lighter or a bit of tugging rather than needing tools. I'd usually not have one at all but I'm off to some indoor exercise/training after work and want to keep some of the road grime off my legs, it may well get ditched after that 🤷🏾♀️
