The bars are the only new thing on there. (sunline V3 711 x 25.4 - 13 quid new from CRC)
Frame. 456 SS Classifieds . ACe
Forks :STW User. Absolute bargain. I have had a bit of a play with these. Swapped the air piston and damper around (the air side stantion is worn so I figured I wanted the spring load on the "good" side) I have also chopped the air shaft by -20mm to get a more linear travel. For a few quid plus the cost of oil, an air spring seal and some crush washers, these forks feel 10 times better than they should 🙂 (and dont leak)
Brakes. Cable. STW Classifieds. They work well .
wheels are built up from spare hubs from bent wheels, rims from the parts bin and spokes from an Apollo I got off freecycle 😀
All the rest is parts bin and gifts from Friends!
Due to a financial disaster of my own making, I got out of Bikes recently. Its good to be back
I love a cheapo build. Here's my Dawg (has a bash on now). A bit weighty at 33lb but rides really nicely and doesn't matter what I do to it.
Built from my spares and the brakes from my brothers spares and a few 2nd hand bits off ebay. The only new bits where the seatpost, cables and bbg bashring
15000 miles is impressive!
