I went fully down the rabbit hole on this one, turning a vintage Dawes Competition into a fully blue-themed commuter bike.

What started as a simple idea quickly became a full-blown makeover, complete with a fresh look and a set of On-One Mungo moustache bars (originally planned for the Peugeot Magnum).

Super happy with how this turned out — clean, unique, and totally blue.
