Alright guys?
I have been away from any form of offroad riding for aaaages now and am gettign back into it after i finish at uni (im a mature student and only have a couple of months left to go). I have been using a mega old GT tequesta for getting too and from work so im not mega unfit... just a bit, but i yearn for some fun and not just getting about, so I am building a bike with parts i have got of people on here and flea bay. what you think so far and what should i get / do next? heres a pic of my bike so far.

I have a new wheel for the front and some rotors coming. one problem is that the bb from the crack is stuck in the old frame.. any idea what new bb to buy? i cant find anything on these cranks on the interweb..
can you see any glaring problems with my setup as its been aaaages since i have put one together.

Man that is exceptionally ugly, though ugly bikes don't bother me.
thanks for that.
much like its rider then.
anything alse other than asthetics?
I think a chain & crank will help you with going up hills. 😉
Maybe some brakes, but not essential yet!
I hope you don't use that rusty chain!
And turn the seatpost round! It's back to front!
lol the brakes are tehre but the rotors havent arrived yet and i am still to pick up my new front wheel with disk hubs. im not going to be using that chain as its mega fat and on a single speed at the mo. was thiking of using that crank and chainwheel ( the cranks have been cleaned up bigtime and they look lovely once more). what speed casset do you suggest? i dont have shifters yet either but am planning on getting some shitty ones for as little £ as possible to see me thru the first few rides while i get back to par.
this is the crank held in place by half the bb that came out my old bike :S
