Hi All,
Started with just the frame from ebay then built up myself.
Kept pretty much to the original geometry with the layback and the stem length, but the rest is a trade off between budget parts and durability.
Whole bike built for less than £200

What do you think ?

Nutt - it's got some of that grippy foam stuff under it (cheap in Ikea)

Capn' - thought about it, but it's so light I didn't really wanna start throwing stuff on it. Plus I tend to snap them.
