Whoaaa fantastic

That sounds good, but it's always the mudguards, eh! You'd think someone
would come up with some decent pattern ones, most of the ones I've seen
don't seem to fit anything well.

Another couple of years and I'll be hunting for something for the GT,
probably. There's just the first signs of blisters appearing on the front
guard between the forks.

The problem with mudguards is rolling the edges, for which you need some
fairly expensive tooling.

I've been told that a lot of these cheapo Chinese and Korean bikes had
problems getting registered in this country because their mudguards were
horrible sharp-edged things, and the DVLA just said: "No way". So they
changed the guards.

Dunno if that's true, mind, but I suppose a Boadicea-type bike, no
matter how atractive the concept, is something the authorities don't
want.
