  • Just built up this baby after getting the frame from @Pancake and thought I’d share over here! Originally meant as a beater with a mishmash of parts, and gradually decided it was too nice for that.. Now all it’s missing is a silver 135BCD crank, and forgive the poor bar tape wrapping! Currently trying to figure out how I can still use this locked up around London with that saddle.. and also trying to concurrently figure out if my ass/thighs like the saddle or not!

  • Wanted it on in a hurry and told myself I’d redo it at some stage.. don’t judge!

    Re. The saddle, am considering a shower cap seat cover (how does one secure a tesco bag?) but currently am looping my chain through it as @Skülly has suggested. Chain is just about long enough though, so will make locking around bigger objects a pain if it ever gets to it.. it’s a shame but I’m considering swapping out a saddle just for the peace of mind of being able to lock up and come back to a bike I can still ride home!

    On an unrelated note; for the more knowledgeable amongst you, does anyone know if this 753 specimen is likely to date from the early 90s..?
