Nice bike !
I like fenders also. A chain guard an kick stand are nice also, and I recall that all bikes in my youth came with them as standard equipment.
Kick stand is being investigated as I hate leaning it against walls, like in the pics
Chain guard is probably a no go, due to the 1x setup and the the 11 to 51 cassette, no, that isn't a typo. The rear cassette is huge

They are as wide as I can fit on, 45mm and the tyres are 37mm
The frame is recessed for the tyre, can go upto a huge tyre with 650b wheels and the chain stays are very short, hence the cutout

Some lightweight frames don’t advise fitting a stand, my brother has a Thorn & it will invalidate the frame guarantee

Mid life crisis? Surely it's missing the engine!
Happy birthday
Depends how old you are when the midlife crisis kicks in, for the said crisis to involve a pushbike instead of a dusky maiden I can only assume Mr Kayos is fifteen.

Yes the current plan is very much like the Korloy bars. Grind the carbide at 45 degrees V and braze on. Not sure if I will make the head or chop an existing bar. I have a few spare sclcr's but Id prefer to use dcet insertsSounds interesting
I could grind a cutting edge directly, but I think that will be far more brittle and less good than properly formed, coated inserts.

Check out " Bicycle Crankset Chainguard " on ebay. Just an outer ring which fits on the crank sprocket to keep your clothing clean and from catching in the teeth.

When I was 15 I would have preferred the dusky maiden, in later years, the mind may be willing but……. The bike is cheaper!Depends how old you are when the midlife crisis kicks in, for the said crisis to involve a pushbike instead of a dusky maiden I can only assume Mr Kayos is fifteen.

Hoarder, me? I have a disease. "Take anything you want!" they said...
A microwave was being chucked out:
And then there's these, four port valve actuators. I have LOTS and potentially have a steady supply for a good while.
A 24VAC motor / gearbox that drives the valve. The thread through the final drive, black bit is M8.
I'm going to try and incorporate one into my auto loading, magazine fed, bog roll dispenser.
Not sure on the final drive speed or available torque. I'll have a play. I'll likely be able to supply these for the cost of posting.
(I also have the brass four ports, they'll get weighed in for beer tokens).

Stopped via a friends house on the way home today. Coffee and flap jacks was served.
As I left I was asked if I wanted a old lamp.
I said yes.
Looks like a run of the mill Tilley lamp.
But it is either a hybrid or a 1960's MOD Army Tilley lamp.
Brass tank, but alloy pump.
Board arrow and a number.
But the control valve is a latter version, but the vaporiser is a older design.
Top cap is an old design but it is black, not brown.
The pictures shows me doing attest light to see what needs doing o fix it.
The answer?
