Drivetrain undecided and I’m in no rush to build this one.
Sunrace 11-40t cassette
Shimano RD-M370 derailleur (SGS, can be found under £20) and Shimano Altus 8-Speed Rapidfire SLM310 shifters (can be found under £20).
Those are suggestion, abet only for 1x8 rather than triple, the 8 speed stuff mean cheap and easy to maintain, and the 40t sprocket be handy for a trailer.

without a care in the world.
Here he is, Jones the Steam. Without a care in the world.
Looking forward to this project.

So I have a tourer, a ss, a 27+ and an ss mtb but what I don’t have is a basic bike for pulling my trailer, going for a picnic and locking up without a care in the world.
To this end I spent the princely sum of £50 on a Gt Legacy hybrid. Beneath the full length chainguard, horrible finishing kit and boat anchor chainset is a pretty cool frame.
After throwing everything except the bars, brakes and seat post in the bin I’m left with this(stem is a lower rise one I had on hand).
Lots of braze ons, cheap steel but the ride home was a blast so I’m quietly confident.
I need to grind off the chainguard mounts from the chainstay and bb and a quick rub down with t-cut all over.
Wheels and tyres ordered. https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Tru-Build-700c-Rear-Wheel-Mach1-240-Rim-8-9Speed-Cassette-Hub-QR_27735.htm?source=aw&awc=6821_1565629932_bb68251b7c553d0e24a2e9a65c8cccd6&utm_source=aw&utm_medium=101164

Will have the wald basket off of my steamroller.
There will be no mudguards or rear rack.
