Here I am in protective gear, on my way to my government office job. I still wear boots from the blue-collar job I retired from in 2002. This is my daily driver, rain or shine. I like the way the Tanaka pipe wraps around the top tube. It was as if the pipe was made for the bike. When I switched from SBP expansion pipe to Tanaka-specific pipe, the 4-liter HT tank had to be relocated to the rear rack.
The bike has a 29er suspension fork and 27" tall tires, which afford more clearance between tire and expansion pipe.
The skateboard wheel is the chain tensioner I made recently. I'll use a locknut on the turnbuckle when I get around to it.
