Thanks to all the forum members that I have bought parts from. I am finally riding again after too long off the bike.

Lawn fail 😉

Glad your happy with it, as that’s what counts, but not so sure about you lawn though.
Seat needs re-positioning, you don’t need a long cage mech for a 1×9 speed setup (not sure about your stem but that a personal choice).

The whites really are white!

Student, therefore I definitely don’t care about the lawn. Agree about the mech but I don’t want to spend any more money. Likewise I know the stem is very unfashionable but it is what I’m used to and I don’t want to spend the money. Think I’ll be going for flat bars and stem in the futre though.

get those handlebars capped!

looks good, get out and enjoy the weather.
now!! lol.

You may want to stick a single-ring chain device on there, otherwise your chain may keep bouncing off.

I love it when a build comes together.

Like the look of that mudguard on the forks – what is it?

That one looks foamy.. Not as many fittings as others seen on here…
Should be easy to hodge one out of old plastic sheeting give or take a coupla gos?
Like the idea tho!
