This is what Peg basically looked like to me when I brought her home.
Even her formal name, Windsor Kennsington, was something I'd like to forget.
I took her on because she was cheap and friendly with an 8-speed internal rear end that I wanted bad.
Those wheels had already been stripped for the pic above, with some old 10-speed wheels put on for her to have something to roll around on. And the fenders and racks had just been laid in place.
But the visual was similar for me.
After shedding the extra weight, although still with original wheels in place, I began to much admire her form. And began to take a shine to her.
A laid back and fetching appearance began to emerge. She was coming out of her stuffed shirt and beginning to see the world on a whole new way.
But it was when I stumbled upon this and set it next to her that I began to see a different and daring look in her eye.
Would it....could it fit?
Maybe with a little bacon grease?
It was a life changing moment.
Peg was becoming something different. She was becoming Diana. And she liked it.
She needed more change. More excitement.
So we found something new to try. Something wild and untamed to borrow from.
And the story continues....as the world turns.
