From memory, this was found on a ride organised by Regulator. I think it was in Ely, probably about 10 years ago.

Blimey!
I think I actually remember that ride.

I can check if it's still there, if you like.

I remember that ride as the only time I met you. (I think)

You are correct, J.

Someone masked off a few bits, sprayed it, then gave up on it, left it between my flat and the beer shop.

Not the best respray I've seen, but neither the worst- that goes to the electric fat bike I sometimes see at Sainsbury's: even the tyres are spray-painted, not just overspray either.

That looks like one of those bikes you see sprayed all over and stuck in multicoloured arrangements in villages as some sort of charity display, often with worzel gummidges.

No market for a slightly used vgc basket?

That's not dead! It's got two brakes, a chain, both pedals and they tyres might even not be flat. In better condition than half of what the kids ride up and down my street.

And a saddle, how posh.

Pingu · « **Reply #166 on:** 26 July, 2022, 07:08:41 pm »

It's playing dead.

Kim · « **Reply #167 on:** 26 July, 2022, 09:09:00 pm »

It's just resting.

It wants someone to tickle its downtube.

This is probably the most appropriate thread: Scheiße mein Fahrrad!

Only injured, really.
