Cuddly toys?
Ill admit it, I had one of those stupid cuddly toys taped to my bars/stem. Think Jez Avery at the time was doing something with his Etto helmet and bunny ears, thought id do the same, erm!!!!!!
I knew of a couple of lad that had drilled their crank arms and bars to save weight, screw that I thought!!

I resprayed my Raleigh Mustang to make it look like a zolatone Marin Palisades Trail! The only thing was that it looked nothing like it as the nearest colour that I could get was metallic grey.
To make the problem worse I upgraded all the parts on it to Shimano DX. The only thing that I couldn't upgrade was the BB. At the time I thought that it was a really cool bike as I was just starting out in the bike world.

bought a new frame but the steerer on my forks were too long so cut the top and bottom off the head tube...
used a car ball joint splitter to pull a crank off!
alwaYS resisted the temptation to put stickers on to make it look like i had trick stuff.
my worst faux pas was beleiving everything i read in mbuk. i used 24 inch tubes to save weight and spent a weekend filing excess material off everything to save weight. should have just gone on a diet
