This was the one for sale recently on here. After previously buying a 17" one and being disappointed it too small (wasn't surprised really), I didn't waste any time thinking about this one and I promised to do a build thread so here it is:

The bike was in good shape overall so the plan was just to do a strip and clean and change the brakes, tyres, grips and anything worn out.

I wasn't planning on starting it until January time as I have others I wanted to finish first, but I liked this so much it jumped the queue!

The frame cleaned up nicely:

The worn parts list was short: Inner chainring, smallest cassette sprocket and Bottom bracket.
 
A few days before buying the bike, I bought a set of black DX brakes so I decided to use those. However, when I put them on, I thought some more black was needed so I sourced a black chainring set and happened to have some wheels with the same rims and black hubs which I'd got ready for another bike. So here it is:

Ready to get muddy!
