Oh shit, is that a thing? I thought I'd somehow positioned it stupidly. I'll have to adjust the cables.

Found an abandoned BMX outside my flat (flat tyres, cables disconnected, bits of the brakes missing and so on). Might have been stolen, trashed, and then abandoned so I'll call the police and ask if anyone's reported it.
But in the mean time I decided to fix it up and assembled this for a laugh just to see how it rides. (Has been returned to original parts since - repaired as best I can - in case it has been reported to the police and the owner wants it back.)
Smallest turning circle of any bike I've ever ridden. Didn't try anything fun on it in case I fell off and damaged it. If no one claims it'd be interesting to give it a proper ride.

Any idea what the stem is here? Quite like the two colour thing going on.

Sweet, a solution to the awkwardness of getting bars in/out of quill stems.

That's a whole lorra seatpost

What's this one? Looks very custom.

If you take a look in the Any Questions Answered thread you'll see that chain tension is a bit troublesome.
But yeah, the rack came straight off my 700c bike and hasn't been adjusted. (I actually had to sit on it to ride to the bike shop so that they could measure the seat post diameter properly, as it's not properly round.)
Brake lever definitely needs sorting. I've got a really sore wrist just from riding 5k home.
