Thanks for the kind comments! Maybe it looks weirder in the flesh...Perhaps I should have put it in the porteur thread so Scoble could pass judgement! You can't see it from this picture but at some point I think the original owner pranged something - the forks are slighty bent back at the crown resulting in twitchy handling. Apparently there's a place on Mare Street that can straighten them which I think would make it handle better with a full basket.
The next build is planned to be a bare metal Falcon frame with a 1957 dyno-hub 3 speed and a front dyno hub - lights up the wazoo, and definitely more Frankenrat!
