Is this xBiking?
Built up an intec steel frame with vintage-looking parts. Everything on this bike is new but it still has that retro-vibe (other than the headlight but oh well…)
She’ll also get a front and rear rack and a rear light but since this will be a Christmas gift I’d like it to look as cool as it does now. After a few fun rides to our favorite coffee-shop I’ll attach the racks for her.

Sure, that is it xbiking!
I like the color pallette. Maybe the front grips leather will become darker and closer to the saddles color if you soak it in some dubbin.
Your area also looks like it could use some fenders.
I don’t like the kitchen sink bars soo much and how they are set up angled. I would level them and rather use a shorter and higher stem if that would be too much reach.
What frame is this?
One of my favorite builds was the one I did for my girlfriend. She has really gotten the bug and credits this bike for making her excited to ride. Now, a year later, she claims she believes a 5 bike stable is probably in her future.

Very good bike
Nice Ride! Plan on having to stay away from your girlfriend as she breaks in that seat. 😛
