It came from the functional thread, many many moons ago. I think that build is north of 10 years ago. Hence me refering to it as a proto-wanker, it was built at a time when what we think of as the 'modern standard' for the wanker hybrid was still but the loose jelly of life clinging to the rocks of a distant shore.

Those bottle cages look long enough for a long thing.
Personally I would put this in functional bikes, it looks like a rolling incarnation of a retired engineers DIY workbench. Everything dialled in just to their own eccentric needs/wants.
Studded tyres seems like a weird flex though.
