no really, it sets me on edge every time I look at it. It really winds me up.F#####g hell Dave, stop sitting on the fence
Edit, it is entirely possible I've missed irony
with this in mind, it 100% hits it's purpose, it just hurts me so much to see it done. Like I said, I can't put it in to words. It isn't an insult to @Tsundere, or to the bike, it really isn't, I just can't look at it.
I hate all bikes enough to not want to steal them.
Wait until you see the cabling

Is there a risk of attracting vandals?

I reckon there is a risk of attaching the fuzz or security, who will remove it on the grounds that no way was it ridden there today.Is there a risk of attracting vandals?

You could carry a little bag of leaves, dust mice and dead birds to scatter under the wheels to increase the abandoned look?
Just taken her out for her maiden shakedown ride.
All is well, the only issue is being unable to shift to the largest cog, but honestly I can't see that I'd ever need it. So limited to 7 speed but still with a decent enough range. Everything else is spot on, braking is crisp, it's very quiet and feels pretty agile.
It weighs in at 12.6 kg, which isn't bad for a steel framed bike with steel mudguards. Tyres are very light and the lack of front mech and shifter helps, but weight was never a prime concern.
Tomorrow commuter duty. Looking forward to any reactions.

Slightly concerned you have trimmed the cable inners. At leat one or two should be full length and have a load of loops at the end.
Being a commuter it definitely needs a front flap. How about the classic made out of a 2liter milk bottle? or an L plate?. The rear can have one too but that needs to be broken in some way. Random spokey dokeys or reflective tape is also required.

I'm assuming you have given your own "outfit" as much attention?- can't wait to see photos.
Might be worth taking a flat cap and a little cardboard sign with
"please help god bless you"
written on it?
