1. Is you bike custom built or 'off the peg'?
Bike was purchased in pieces, frame and componentry.
** 2. If OTP, how have you made the bike your own?
There are similar bikes, but mine is still unique.
NOS rims, power-coated.
Twisted spokes.
The bike is special because it fits me well, performs well, is comprised of decent equipment.
3. How important are your bikes aesthetics to you and why?
If it didn't work and perform as I require the aesthetics wouldn't count for anything.
** 4. Have you ever switched perfectly good parts for something else and for what reason?**
Only if the new equipment is of a better quality.
But any bike I put together is built to a plan and once completed, barring equipment failure or accident damage or consumables like tyres, chains and grips there is no need to replace anything.
** 5. If you could change anything about your bike what would it be?**
Nothing.
** 6. Any other thoughts?**
Nope.
