this is more or less the starting point for a project. got this frame from ebay for ~17euros. its been welded at the headtube and the rest is in bad shape too. thats why i decided to put the bike together to see how it rides and if its worth restoring it to its former beauty.
got the parts from here, mtb-news.de and ebay. 100% used stuff. assembling the bike was fun and worked out quite well. what amazed me the most was the force40 brake setup. its quite easy to setup and performace is breathtaking! the front brake is comparable to a v-brake, no shit!
so, the plan is to take the bike to the trails for some rides. if the bike and i survive, i'll get it resprayed.
