Set in early-2025, the thread follows Maj in a near-future UK experiencing societal collapse due to critical resource shortages, ecocide and a Conservative government. Armed biker gangs freely hijack riders with boutique components, leading to the return of the "beater bike". The trends for pre- and artifically- aged clothing bleed into the world of the bicycle, with newly built custom frames being pre-aged on the salt flats that used to be Walthamstow Marshes, and a rejection of the concept of "truing a wheel".
