This is the bike I am donating to Guinessisgoodforyou.
Just for a laugh I would see what AI would make of it...enjoy!

For Sale: Rust-Born Steed, Weather-Worn and Wounded
This is a bike not merely ridden but ravaged—an iron beast with marrow of rust, wheels slanted like warped compasses lost to the north.
The frame: tarnished spine, scarred with tales of storms and sun-burnt summers. Buckled wheels waver and stammer, as if struck by the planet’s pulse, eager to hold you aloft yet hesitating, whispering of paths they have borne and burdens they have known. Tyres hold air in strange, shuddering breaths, perhaps out of loyalty, perhaps out of habit.
Brakes: protest in screeching voices when beckoned. Chain: a snake wreathed in amber dust, clinking through its own journey with a slight limp. Gears, bruised and battered, grit their teeth in unison, ready to heave one more rider toward some distant line on the horizon.
She’s a brute of a machine, a spoked leviathan, not for the faint of heart, not for those who cower from the rasp of ancient iron.
Price:Just a couple of hundred hours of blood sweat and tears. She’s waiting for her next battle.

The rear wheel has a flat spot and dented sidewall. I will see what I can do with it. It may be beyond my ability to save. Frame looks straight and dent free, fork chrome is very good. Front mech has nearly worn through. Sachs Huret gear levers, Shimano Tourney centre pull brake set. Needs a shorter stem for proportion, seat post and saddle. ALP handlebars. I'm going to be making extensive use of the box of shite for this.
I may put some new decals on. I'm still pondering. It's a 21" frame.
