The temporary fender has an aggressive angle and an intimidating, tapering silhouette. Reminds me of something out of Ben Hur.
What brand/model is it?

Ass Savers Fendor Bendor. I usually just use the regular Ass Saver that attaches to the saddle, but this one does work better.

Some post Harvey flood upgrades to Henry for 2018 - most notably new wheels! Finally ditched the deep rim fixie style wheels to go with a more classic look.

Here's mine in its sorry state. I had to hang it up to make space in the garage for the winter bikes.

Nabiis Alchemy with an absurd hodgepodge of mostly-pretty-good parts and a few stinkers. Generic white crankset that I loathe, but will not replace with something better until I ride enough to wear out that back tire without skidding. I expect to be notably fitter when I install that new crank.

It's a Traveler. But oddly enough we have a Sprint of the same color and styling in the garage. I got them both last year at an auction, and decided to turn the Traveler frame into a SS. My son got the Sprint and is leaving it as a 10-speed for now.

Attempting my first build at the ripe age of 49. Bike is a '77 Takara. HiTen/lugged 25" (6'6"/215). I'm about a week in...frame, stripped and primed. Parts being acquired; going low-budget just to get a feel for how the building game works.
The forum wont let me post links, as I'm a NooB here. So...photos to follow.

Been waiting for the right bike for my first SS build. Got it.
