Pinky V1 - She Lives!

I set myself a £60 budget. I sold some car wheels for £60 hence the weird number. I genuinely didn’t know how much I was going to use this thing so why not make it a fun, cheap build. With that £60 I bought;

• Missing parts to make the cantilever brakes function
  
• Brake pads
  
• China-spec “Alloy brake levers”
  
• Brake cables and outers
  
• Charge “Bullet” short, straight bars
  
• Continental semi-slicks
  
• China-spec grips
  
• China spec “Black Alloy pedals”
  
• China-spec chain
  
  

Not bad for £60. My dad and I built it up in a day . Only 7 years late. Here are the results (try not to get distracted by any of the machines in the background):

Note the hacked single gear setup. Also we could not get the rear brake to perform despite hours of fettling and adjusting but despite all that she lives!

V2 tomorrow…
