I really like that. I think I’d rather have it clear coated than just linseed oiled though.

If we were twenty five years ago before the hipster trend became a thing then I might think something like that would be quite cool and different, but I wouldn't ride it now because everyone would assume that you're a hipster wanker. It's bad enough on my old classic.

I normally hate these effing bobber type bikes but this one is growing on me. The raw look is very appealing, if they'd covered it in paint and graphics it would be awful.

Old Indian girder forks, apparently.

Something like this.
