Looking nice'n ratty, for sure. A jockey shift would add to the look, but a twist shifter on the left is more functional/fun and low profile. Depends how soon you want to start tearing around on her, eh? :) It is nice to have a beater bike where you don't have to worry about scratching the paint :p

You & me, both, brother. We had a longer than normal fall here in northeastern Minnesota, but the ax of winter has fallen. "Thud". Half a foot of new snow and temps at night just above zero, gray sky and just five more months of winter ahead. If I were a real bear I'd take a **** of a nap and wake up in April to see the snow melt. It's a long time to wait for bike riding weather. So as I hibernate I watch others build their bikes, like your mighty fine rat, and dream about building my own. Sigh.
