Great thread with some lovely bikes and nice stories behind them, thanks for sharing!
If I may ask, what's the basket on the Wheeler? I'm building a similar bike at the moment, I have the same rack but I'm kinda struggling to find a proper basket. Ta!

@vpCogworks it’s just a standard Wald 137 with strategic zip ties! Not a perfect fit but has worked for four years at this point
@JacqueLucque absolutely great, and may be helpful with the dumb rigid-singlespeed-MTB-thing I’ve been loosely planning for a while…

Wheeler Proline - aka Speelo Wheelo
This is an actually finished project for once, besides the saddle that needs changing. During lockdown my wife wanted to take up riding, so I built this basically NOS 1993 Wheeler up to her spec. She's got various fun chronic illnesses including something called Ehlers Danloss Syndrome (EDS), which means she's in all sorts of fun pain and her joints have a really hard time with any sort of stress. So swept bars with a load of rise were the order of the day, and it's basically her ideal bike now. The only thing is that we want to tour together and her health means her body can't handle the sort of repeated days of riding that she wants to do, so the next thing is to sort out an ebike for her (or maybe a tandem...). The Wheeler won't be going anywhere mind you!
