Since lockdown began, the forest track behind the house has been tempting me. And I’ve always wanted a CX build to rag around on. And I’d quite like a ragable pub bike.
So when I saw a battered Uncle John f&f for £40, I couldn’t say no!
Annoyingly I don’t really have any parts so I’m starting to source the long list of bits and bobs.
So far I’ve sorted bars, levers, saddle.
No real idea what to do for wheels on a budget. The frame is 135mm rear spacing, so was just going to buy a set of wheels and an SS conversion kit, which will hopefully make crank and chainring selection a bit more straightforward without strict chain line restrictions. And will run a chain tensioner as well.
Seems that the majority of CX wheels are for disc brakes these days though. Any suggestions for something not too expensive that will take a bit of abuse?
