-1,000,000 man points for spotlessness. Sorry. I'd be far more impressed with a black tyre track across the carpet
and a puddle of oil under the bike. That would really say "Fuck her! It's my house too!!!" but this... Folded arms

+10 man points for owning cool old scoot thing.

PC50?

I can't help getting the feeling that some bits which ought to have been assembled with a reasonable quantity of grease, have not.

C100 front end on a riders cub C90 frame, with rear mudguard welded on from a C70 passport.

It's loosely assembled, I'll take it outside tomorrow and grease the relevant bits properly.

The floor is so clean!
I still have a black wheelspin mark in a passage here from when I had my dads electric bicycle indoors.

I dare you to leave it assembled like that in the bedroom, in a position where you can smile at it and ignore her.

Got it running today.

Need to redo some paint in places, but it's only brush painted, and I'm not going for a showpiece, just a commuter, so it doesn't really matter.

Next job is probably making a wiring loom.

Gotta say I admire you chaps with all this technical know how. I wouldn't know where to start with a job like that.
