Show us what you did today, thread

I got this from Gumtree for £15. It was covered in thick greasy grime. The headset was loose. The front mech was so gummed up it didn't move. The rear mech was wound up with fishing line. Both tyres were flat and the wheels were black instead of alu. The black bars were rusty and it had crap mismatched shifters.

After a few hour work and some bits from the parts box it's back on the road. It's amazingly comfortable and quick. Will make a nice winter commuter or student bike. Will be going back on Gumtree later this week.

cheers gazz ;)

i'm not wanting top money for it so i'll add up what it owes me when it's finnished (still needs a seatpost as theres a coke-can shim in there :LOL: )
 
Eck, did ye no ask whit size it was before you bought it :?

Looks great with the blue wheels though ;)

Mind you the beat up Carrera I've been given by TK is a 19" but it seems OK so far but if it doesn't work it cost nowt !
 
the seat tube is 50cm so about 19" but it feel's smaller to me and it's giving me a sore neck just riding up and down the street :( :roll:
