Thought I'd take some time to get some opinions about what I've been building for the last few weeks.
Basically I have been riding mountain bikes for a long time now, and moving into the city centre meant naturally (to me at least) if I was traveling any distance I'd rather have a dedicated machine to get me around. After borrowing a couple of old road bikes and then been given a nice Carlton (which was waaayyyyyyyy too big for me) I decided to finally buy something of my own.
I was lucky enough to one day have a cycle jumble flyer popped under the seat of one of my borrowed bikes while it was locked up at uni, so I went to the jumble and basically managed to cobble together this, nice little ronson.
I know true roadies will destroy me for the whole campag / shimano car crash that going on but overall I think with a few component changes at jumbles in the future the build overall will be quite an achievement.
