loopybike
Veteran
When I say loopybike gets a make over, I mean the bicycle not me!
I built the loopybike around 6 or 7 years ago. I used it a fair bit, but then my mind wandered onto other projects, you know how it is! The bike got moved onto the wall at the workshop. Many of my customers would stare up at it, often with a confused look!
Gradually bits got taken off it for other projects. The crankset, wheels, handlebars, saddle all went. Eventually it was just the frame. Feeling sorry for it I put on some old wheels, handlebars and saddle. But it remained on the wall as an art piece.
Move forward 2 years to last night I suddenly had a mad thought of entering it into a show! There's one happening on the last weekend of August. I like a deadline!
So here I am, in the workshop. And here's the loopybike looking very unloved and sorry for itself.....
