Just a couple of small points, I think I may know what has been going wrong with your riding all these years if you are starting off from red traffic lights, and what's wrong with sitting in the saddle as you start off?

Riding it is a double bagger just in case one blows off and you're recognized

I've been looking at this daily since it appeared on local Facebook Marketplace, just to try to work out . . . well, just how it would work.

Is it an attempt at a tall bike? How would the welds hold up? And where would you find a fork with a steerer that long . . .?

Reading the 'Details' section of the posting helpfully tells you . . . that it's purple.

Weld a few steerers together and call your dentist to let him know he can take some time off because you're bringing him a 3 week paid holiday, all inclusive

I am willing to wager that there is no other marinoni bottle cage in the world that's held on with deck screws

There was one of those Kona choppers on pinkbike for the longest time. Or maybe I'm mistaken, and that's the new "long low slack" geometry.

Would need 32" wheels for that.

Ok I've posted this elsewhere and sure, it's not as outlandish as some of the contraptions we've seen, but this is a pub cruiser I built for my stepson, based on an early 90s ParkPre Mountain Comp with mainly spares-box customisations.

The most expensive part is the Surly Sunrise bars, the magnificent width of which can't really be appreciated in this view. It also has a very fine ding-dong bell with a built-in compass which I feel the young chap may well need in getting to and particularly from the pub.
