The Musunator project and now building the new bike have made me realize that I really enjoy working with practical stuff, learning how they work and seeing them become something I actually use in daily life
I've had my old bike for about 20 years so I feel pretty sentimental and wistful about parting with it but I've mounted some of its parts (kickstand, cat's eye and bottle cage) on the new bike so it can live on in those
