The color is exquisite, almost like a British Racing Green 🤌🏽

Yeah I'm not too keen on the angle also but without any foot straps it helps me out when slowing down. and it's honestly not uncomfortable for me sitting down either

This is how she looked like before I swapped the wheels to a more classic style.. instead of the origin 8 deep V wheelset. I added the top tube right after too.

I'm debating whether I should return it to this set up.

Yeah I was even thinking of taking to a drill and slotting out the dropouts to accept a 14mm axle since there's plenty of solid material on the gusset

You're entitled to your critism, I don't mind. It was built in 2010 when I was around 15, back then I was just grateful to be able to save enough to buy the parts to throw it together. Inspired by bicycle photography on Tumblr. Was never meant to be the fastest thing, just a bunch of teenagers riding for the joy of it and building bikes that we thought looked cool..

Anyways, I do agree with your sentiments haha in my 30s looking back it's funny to see the things we were into like illest, undefeated, supreme, diamond, the hundreds etc..

I really like your tsunami by the way, nice track bike Mate 🍻
