bought this bad boy a few months ago, f&f, pads and bars
changed my mind quite a bit along the build as you do! wheels,grips, brakes, seat clamp, chainring (3 times :roll: )
finally settled for this, bit of a budget build by some standards, but im pleased with how it turned out!
it will get a seat upgrade when im a bit more flush, but as its a seafront cruise bike this seat will do fine for now! :grin:
so here are some pics of the build as it progressed!
how the seller had built it
