Browndonneur-
Colour is growing on me too
It's now - just about - a working bike, albeit with only one brake connected, and with a ludicrously long hose, until I get hold of some more barbs.
Chopped the steerer once but will probably do another as the bars will be coming down a bit
Been a real nuisance of a build so far - the rim tape on the wheels had somehow slid away from the spoke holes so needed replacing - dropper seatpost had to be ordered from Germany as none in this country that were affordable - kid seat mount needed adapting as plastic bits has deformed - dynamo headlight had broken so another is on order - forgot I would need brake adaptors etc etc
Still to fit are all the functional accoutrements - Bluemels with questionable RAW mudflaps - dynamo lights with, if I can be bothered, internal fork wiring - Pizza rack with Wald on top, and big plastic bin panniers either side - and yes probably a kickstand. Maybe more bougie pedals.
On a more positive note, even from a brief jaunt round the block, geometry/proportions/position/etc feels and looks great

A little progress on the Bridge Club - proportions look good, I think, and fatties do indeed fit fine. Bigger clearance than the proper MTB it's replacing
