I wasn't going to enter this build-off, but two days ago I found a $20 skinny wheel "English Racer" in need of some love. I like the faded metallic red patina, the curved top tube and the brass(?) head badge.
Will try to retain the SA three-speed coaster brake setup if it works, or switch to a freewheel single speed setup. I have a perfect ratty leather saddle for it in storage, and a cool Nitto neck that'll fit. I may clear coat the existing finish with Effex. It WILL remain ratty.
Here it is, as bought.
