1953 Pug Randonneur for a base. For me this is what it is about. What is there not to like about this on many levels?
My own, pulled from the tip, similar if not the same as above - I dated this as 1946 but things are very very iffy at this time.
It had a short life in my hands
I did learn a lot though.
All in all a superb post. Thank you. It shows what can be done with perseverance, tooling, and a sense of creation.
Above all, young builder shows some respect for heritage and does home work to evolve something building upon a wonderful history and create something contemporary, share, and also copy by enthusiasts. I reckon that would ride really nice,
It's far too good for this filth / disgusting thread @Imlach in his twisted mind decided to conceive over too much beer and rich sauces drenched over processed sausages.

The German car manufacturers have somehow always had a very special view of what mountain bikes should look like....either that's 3am nightmare, chew your arm off to get away ugly or evidence of time travel*.
designer skipped forward to 2024 and asked AI to draw a bike.

Same guy made both of these

I certainly wouldn't complain. Or SS. Looks like it can do it no problem with them modern slideymacslidey dropouts. The overall essence of the build is very much my cup of tea though. Fork is phwoarrrrrrrrrrr..
