    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 ?


    Gary Fisher Artemis frame
    Shimano drivetrain (48t big ring)
    Schwalbe City Jet 1.5 tyres
    Tektro Vbrakes
    Shimano SPD’s

    Maiden voyage tomorrow…
    Comments welcome.

    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.
