Made some modifications to my Space Horse. The Royal Mint goes really well with brown leather and chrome. Still trying to find a silver crank that will work with the current drivetrain and not cost me a small fortune.
A surprisingly elegant and nicely eccentric steed. I’m conflicted about the brown with blue-green, but then the bright green panels work so well! Clever the way the whole power train (except cassette) is black, including the shifters and casing. The disc brakes blend into that black theme, and leave the upper part so clean. That line from the saddle down along the seatpost suddenly exploding into tube is so static, but full of function and energy, like a spring coiled to release the bike onto the road. Front end seems delicate, but supple, a bit of feminine into a rather masculine mix.
Getting a matching jersey? And traditional handmade leather cycling shoes, British, uncleated, old school (still made). In brown!

Man I never should’ve sold my space horse
