The story behind the Caygill is that the extended seat tube was broken off due to forcing a too small seat post diameter and overtightening the clamp.
Vanttera sorted it out by welding a new tube inside the old seat tube. In the process the paint was removed from the seat cluster area. The original paint was this boring whiteish colour which was just boring, and with the damage already done to the paint we decided to scorchio the whole thing, which was quite fun actually.
I wouldn't call this very ratty myself, since most of the parts look new or unused and I haven't even got around to properly riding it.
