i had visions of the green bike as something I’d like to build.
Very nice.

Nice find at Ceres. I’m always a bit dubious about spending money on rattle can though.
Ceres can also be worryingly lacking in mechanical knowledge. I totally agree with the concept but the other day I went there looking for an old long reach brake caliper and no one could help me. They ended up letting me go upstairs and sorting through the brakes bits box, which generally comprises of old torn apart and mismatched calipers. It took me about 20 minutes to find enough parts to make one front brake. In the meantime a baffled mob of people with bike problems were snowballing downstairs, all asking each other for help. Think there should be some kind of ratio of volunteers wanting to learn, and volunteers with actual mechanical knowledge.
i know what you mean, im a “n00b” when it comes to bikes and went there to get some front forks and they sold me a bent pair. i felt so stupid when i realised.
