Is you bike custom built or 'off the peg'?
Custom.
If OTP, how have you made the bike your own?
If custom, what makes the bike special to you?
First proper 'project'. Loved learning about the bike and really understanding it. Also, it works.....a feat for me.
How important are your bikes aesthetics to you and why?
Very. Aside from being stunning pieces of machinery, it's more of how it fits aesthetically into my life. They make me fitter, more independent, they save me money, time and the save the environment. They are well buff too though. :)
Have you ever switched perfectly good parts for something else and for what reason?
Yes. That's what i did with my current bike. I bought it off eBay - it had been done up to the hills with a Dura-Ace group set, 3T bars and stem, Raliegh Special Products saddle etc but i stripped it to make it fixed. The reasons are obvious.
If you could change anything about your bike what would it be?
Hmmm, colour? However each day it grows more and more on me. Orange-to-yellow fade Graham Weigh.
Any other thoughts?
hmmmm, none.
