Questionaire - Customization and Personalization

I'm just doing some research for my Uni 3rd year minor project.

The research is to be used to help me design a system of furniture construction.

I'm looking at how I can give a personal value to furniture.

Seen as many peoples fixed gear bikes are quite personal to them, I'm interested on what makes that so.

If you could take 5 mins to answers a few questions I'd be very grateful.

Thanks, Sammy

1. Is you bike custom built or 'off the peg'?

2. If OTP, how have you made the bike your own?
   If custom, what makes the bike special to you?

3. How important are your bikes aesthetics to you and why?

4. Have you ever switched perfectly good parts for something else and for what reason?

5. If you could change anything about your bike what would it be?

6. Any other thoughts?

Thanks again.
