1. Is you bike custom built or 'off the peg'?
[INDENT] It's (I assume) an OTP frame, but I'm the third owner (at least) and it's been through a number of guises during its 30-summat years.
[/INDENT]* 2. If OTP, how have you made the bike your own?
[INDENT] Hmm. It's special because it was my first "nice" road bike. First one I "fixed" too.
[/INDENT]* 3. How important are your bikes aesthetics to you and why?*
[INDENT] It's got to look like a bike, not a fashion accessory. Whilst I can appreciate a pristine set-up, form is nothing without function.
[/INDENT] * 4. Have you ever switched perfectly good parts for something else and for what reason?*
[INDENT] Often, normally for a change in function.
[/INDENT] * 5. If you could change anything about your bike what would it be?*
[INDENT] Un-seize the seatpost.
[/INDENT]* 6. Any other thoughts?*
