Just building up a bike for the missus to get back into riding
and was ahving a problem getting the back brake to line up .

so broke out the facing tool and it seemed to be a fair bit out

so just took the paint off and squared them up going to need a fair old spacer on the front mount or is the frame a bit out

Not parallel to the disc surface at all.
And yours could do with a damn good clean.

BTW do you have matching jackets too?

Is that an Mmmbop? Had 2 of those, first one was fine (but too small, last time I listen to Brant's sizing advice) but the second one is much like yours, totally on the piss. But I got it working fine with spacers so not too bothered really.

If i'd lashed out for a brand new frame i'd rather have the dropouts parallel thank you very much!
Take it back!
