Looks alright for a good blast out on. Something you can run as it is now and then upgrade in the future. Enjoy it!

couple of pics here of the finished item!!had to get a new cassette cos of chain jump and also the stem is an adjustable one cos i had that feeling of going over the bars riding position,all ok now,was going out today but ive been ill today :cry: ,ah well one more day off work ,so i might have time to ride it tomorrow!!

Some parts I'd change, but good to build it up and go see what you like and dislike.

Shouldnt need a saddle that big with suspension though!

bert uk · Dec 26, 2011

any feedback i get is most welcome,well seeing as i havent really tested it yet i cant really say what does and doesnt work,the saddle is quite big.a bonus for my old bones,

ill start plush and go from there,i need another chainset already,the one on there is too big,or chainrings,but itll do for now.cheers.

If you've changed the cassette I'd change the chainrings and chain to ensure everything wears together. An old chain will chew through the cassette.

Otherwise I'd agree, saddle isn't aesthetically the nicest but if you like it then that's all that matters. Not a fan of those adjustable stems, but if you now know that's the height and rise you want you should be able to find one similar for next to nothing.

I'd remove the stickers on the main frame and show off the paintwork.
