I thought this was a cool bike out of a shop in Boston. What do you think?

Nicely done, though I would have chosen a somehow more common donor... Thinking about how hard it is to find these parts

Oh no, not this thing again.

The woman who "built" this also screwed up a BSA A65.

Take some classic bike parts and totally ruin them just to build some bit of hipster-junk sculpture, the thing is obviously never meant to be ridden.

Being a geographic washout of Cambridge's Boston Latin, I think I'd defer judgement on that beast until seeing it actually run. The cabling seems a wee slapdash. Quod est ita abscedit.
