  • I never updated this thread. Sadly, the bike was finished, and has since fallen into disrepair again, so you all missed it it's glory, but I should share a few pictures. The rest of this story went as follows:

    1. Yellow cable outers to set off the logo a bit more.
    2. Velo Orange bars and a front-basket to make it more of a city-tank than a re-pack-mountain-tank.
    3. Halo H-Block tan-walls which fit in the mudguards with almost enough clearance for a tiny stone. Not quite. If Claira pumps the tyres up to their max pressure they rub. Mountain bikes aren't supposed to run at max-pressure so it's fine.
    4. Happy miles covered.
    5. Bottom-bracket bearings wore out.
    6. More, less-happy miles covered. Bottom bracket still turns I guess, so it's not a priority.
    7. A fox who lives in our garden (which Claira named Muddy) got jealous of the fact that Claira loved her bike more than him. So he got into the shed and nibbled the saddle nose and grips.
    8. @lemonade started a thread and asked for picture, I went outside to take some and a motorbike had fallen on the bike and scratched the paintwork a bit. That'll rust. (That brings us to today.)

    Here's a Google album of right now, even though it's not perfect:
