These are the first two builds I did. One is my work bike and one just for fun.
I'll show the nice one first. I have learned much since I took these, see saddle angle.
The Red one came for about £50 and was almost mint when I got it with an Altus A10 group. I quite like the early Altus as it seems rare despite being low end (and still Japanese). It has a pared back look and the finishes are brownish, which gives you some interesting options. I found some cheap cheerful wheels as a friend is using it, some 2" Supremes and a grey/brown flite. The yellow stem brings it out nicely imo, what do you think?
