    Ha ha!! I really draw the line at Lycra mate. But some of the mountain bike gear isn't too bad and looks like normal casual stuff. I've heard there are blokes called 'mamils'. This stands for 'middle aged men in lycra', and I don't want to be one of those.

    So heres the bargain bike off ebay - £12.50 probably worth that in scrap at the moment.

    The beginning of the 'Bushbike' project. Fuel is so damned expensive and parking not secure and pricey too i followed this and many other threads and got this one specifically for the job.

    The wrapping is cohesive bandage or vet wrap....but for rifles and similar. The OD green tape is made by webtex.

    Basically from a 'survival' point of view I will have bandage, tape, inner tube and some 550 on there when i have done. Although its NOT a 'surviva - bike'........but hey theres a thought

    Meh honestly I just thought it looked really cool LOL I had thought about doing a paracord whip on my bike around the set tube area figured good way to take up a spot that isn't hardly ever used for much
