After joining the forum and getting the bug for improving my own bike I've found I have a load of parts sat on shelves collecting dust which there must be a better use for!
I've been trying for a while to get my missus into biking and thought it would be great to build her a bike myself! Its's taken a bit of persuading!
After looking for a while to find a bike that would fit the missus well but also satisfy my need of building a retro bike I found a belter on eBay! It's not the cleanest frame but will do the job perfectly.
Couldn't believe I managed to fine one of these in a size 14" which is the same model as mine.
Still unsure of which way to go with the build. I have a lot of original parts from my bike which will almost complete the build so I'm thinking of completing a period build...... but there is a temptation to maybe keep the retro frame but go more modern with the component's
Let me know what you think?
