If OTP, how have you made the bike your own?
If custom, what makes the bike special to you?
i have one OTP Unipak - ive turned into a beater and replaced the bb and crank and chain.
And i am about to recieve my project bike:-) - nothing yet, but im in love with it already and its not even born.
How important are your bikes aesthetics to you and why?
Unipaks suck. I hate that it looks like a Unipak cause its a unipak. My new one will NOT look one. I love a pretty bike, it makes me ggggghappy! I love seeing beautiful looking bike. Unipaks look good if you dont know, and form here follows function.
Have you ever switched perfectly good parts for something else and for what reason?
No, not yet. When the new (old 70s bike) bike arrives, maybe.
If you could change anything about your bike what would it be?
Everything;-)
Any other thoughts?
There is nothing wrong with wanting a beautiful bike cause it has function. Most bikes will do the job perfectly, why not have something that does it with style. Your style.
