I love the fork! The build might be functional and efficient, hope your friend will enjoy his / her ride. (put mudguards on it :p)

The guy I bought it from has a "deal" with the Lewisham Recycling Centre ♻️ where he gets the bikes, fixes them then resells them
Is this the guy who has the really long garbled nonsensical gumtree descriptions who asks to meet outside Lewisham police station? If so I've seen his ads and just assumed they're all nicked. Feel bad now

Picked up this Shogun Kurokan alloy cyclocross bike (minus wheels) from Gumtree for a friend who wants to get into cycling.
The guy I bought it from has a "deal" with the Lewisham Recycling Centre ♻️ where he gets the bikes, fixes them then resells them.
Anyway, got the bike with no wheels, so got wheels off @Aroogah - thank you.
Found out today that the RD hanger was bent so sorted it out. Not sure how I lived all my life without a rear derailleur hanger adjuster tool!!
Cleaned & refitted the derailleur the bike came with to then realise it was also bent... not the first it happens, that's 10 minutes and 50p worth of degreaser that I will never get back.
Next task is recabling the whole bike, which I will do later this week.
