I think this sort of kind of fits the 'rules' of this thread . . . Smithfield Nocturne 2010 -- a racing ice cream trike:

My two Hercules Bikes.
Pre Raleigh take over. Higher quality than after Raleigh bought them out. It is a single speed pretend 1900 bicycle.

This one was one of my trail bikes from the 1980s. It was in pieces so I reassembled into a pseudo cycle track bike from around 1950. Single speed.

I made it as a tribute to this bike and for nostalgia as this was a trail bike before mountain bikes were big.

"Saddle: tilted back at 30 degrees provides correct riding position with greatest thrust" -- like you see at the local pump track these days!

What's wrong with that? Love the bars. Stem is absolutely perfect, good cruising height provided you're not a tower.

Frame looks perfect.

A set of cheapo bmx cranks are we are laughing brother, gorgeous

New old stock steel GT. I never measured, but it doesn't look like the front and lowered too much from the old suspension fork I had previously. Steering tube needs to be trimmed a bit, but I wanted to see it together for a minute
