I'm kinda concerned about the blue tape on the drive side chainstay near the seatpost, that can't be a repair, can it?

Spotted today in York

This week all in the same afternoon I spotted a really tidy & 90% original Araya Muddy fox, a 94 Orange P7 & 95 / 96ish Kona Lava dome all in good cared for condition but all just being used as bikes.
There are quite a few retro gems in my area just doing the rounds as "Bikes"

The audacity to use the bikes as bikes

In my little villagey sized town there is chap who rides around on an old Zaskar Le. Back and forth to work and sizes too small. Chain squeak, half flat tyres and sometimes doesnt lock it up.
I would stop him for a natter but he did the same to me once, when i was driving a classic as a daily, and i rate him on the dangerous side of odd.

perhaps it's to prevent paint damage from chain suck?

I often see one of this model being ridden in a morning by some fella when I'm taking my son to work.

I always thought the forks looked slightly bent and where about to fold at any moment but looking at this photo tells me that's just how they are.
