Some daylight pictures of the GT Tequesta I was working on previously.
Have since shortened the chain so it's done but as admitting that would mean thinking about what I'd like to do in life rather than endlessly tinker with bikes, still to do is:
Front wheel needs truing...or replacing with a cheapie decathlon dynamo one + lights obviously
Front rack possibly needs attaching, possibly with basket (I have one of those metro racks + the big wald, but I feel like it'll just make the whole thing huge, unwieldy, etc. Would rather get a little brake stud mounted rack and the small wald)
Full length mudguards
Plastic MTB pedals
Nicer tyres (these feel dead, might be because of the weird anti puncture strip they came lined with? Are specialised crossroads known to be terrible tyres that need all the protection they can get?)
The ride is a bit sketch if I'm honest. Short stem + massive bars is a bit...funny. Contemplating getting some cheapie humpbert/ergotech risers with some sweep (less than 45degrees) but would like to ride a bit more first.
