Built this up a few weeks ago, the frame was a bit of karma from Baz77 as it was me or the skip. So as my Pathfinder has never really been special to me (it was only built for a station bike for a commute I no longer do) and I had a U-brake itch to scratch again I decided to swap the frame for this one. The frame is nowhere near as nice condition as the Pathfinder in the paint dept. as it shows plenty of chips, but it is sound, with no dents or rust and has a slightly more upright riding position I was after. I don't think I'll get the paint scheme re-created for sensible money so it will stay like this.
Trying to keep it a Shimano free zone but I can't ignore the fact that the UN bb's are brilliant (but at least it's hidden), what I will swap eventually is the U Brake for something from Suntour.
