Issues:- Only rear brakes, which don’t line up with the rim and the little screw adjusters have broken off
- only one brake lever
- Headset wobbles
- chain falls off the tiny “inner” ring not designed for 1x
- stem is cracked
- bars too small
- ugly old grips
- forks seem a bit baggy and possibly no longer supported
- rear spring is rusty and well a spring, which you don’t see very often
- frame is a bit messy/scratched
- cheap road tyres!
- basic 1x7 STX gearset
- plastic pedals (the DMRs didn’t make it!)
- Seat post and saddle seem a bit crap
- No brand (Quando?) hubs and rims
