An excellent job Flecc, very well planned & constructed, you must be rightfully pleased with yourself.
You say your creation is not fashionable, I would disagree, surely if the purpose of fashion is to attract admiring attention then I would say your new bike is very fashionable, at least when going uphill.
Also worthy of congratulations are the well written articles which I've read briefly and already learned from, I will digest them fully in due course.
