^ As found in my parents' shed. Ready to be taken to the dumpster. I was just in time...
I'm very reserved when it comes to posting on the gallerypages, because I seldom feel a bike of mine is finished. I keep on finetuning, adding stuff, taking it off again, etc... But now with the new wheels I think it's finally done. Except for an optional frontfender to make this bike ready for the winter. Having used this bike for over a year it's showing some wear and tear in the primer red paintjob but nothing too seriously. I'll probably give it a new coat of paint next spring. Last week we had some fine weather in Holland so I took my camera with me to shoot the bike in the beautiful autumn sun.
