It looks like old fart. Why is somebody trying so hard to "built up" such a cycle with the whole Brooks assortment, ugly bicycle racks & honjo fenders? Looks like he was trying hard (just in the way to spend money) but nothing will make this cycle unique or interesting. I guess thats just the result if people think to spend a certain amount of money will made items always something personal or special like the advertising promised. But if you can get every part & the frame as well with no problem, why not buy just a trekking cycle?
It is just so average that I don't understand why somebody is posting it here

The corny setting of the picture is telling half of the story and the yellow nipples the rest.

So... are you happy with your final draft or are you going to rewrite this again? I'm glad you kept the poignant line about the setting/'nipples', but disappointed that you omitted the bit where you said you'd like to urinate on the mudflap. Maybe you thought people might read your forum profile where you state "pissnfuck" under interests and think you're a bit, err, weird?

I live in a village in Buckinghamshire and that "corny setting" happens to be a pond just up the road from my house. If that is just too twee for you I'll be in Berlin with the bike in April, maybe you could point me toward some nice gritty urban locations? I left the valve caps on because I liked the yellow; yes, I'm that retarded.

For the record, I hadn't intended to just spend money, mostly because I have none. Rather, I've been putting bits aside for eight months now having thought carefully about what I'll be using the bike for. I'm sincerely sorry if you find it a bit showy. I admit that I got a bit carried away: The barber's pole, the leather bits and honjos are a touch over the top and the other day it occurred to me that it's all a bit dandyish. However I really don't see why it appears to have been influenced by advertising at all and I can only assume that you are a naughty boy with a chip on his shoulder his own agenda.

I disagree that it's mainstream and not personal. Having met the bloke who built the frame for me to my body shape and the guy who painted it to my specifications, I can tell you that it felt very personal indeed. Every last part was chosen by me for a good reason and there are only one or two occasions where performance has been compromised in any way. If I thought that the cost was of any concern to you I'd assure you that it actually worked out as extremely good value. Down to every last detail it's exactly what I set out to build for myself and in that respect it is completely without compromise.

I just don't know what to say about the picture, I'd love to know what it means. It's definitely funny though (ha ha funny and funny funny).
