Almost done, build cost at £170.
Just needs new pads and cassette. I thought the one that came on it was ok but it skips like mad. Also, didn’t want to put my prized uncut surly bars on it, but turns out finding other bars that were 22.2mm clamp to fit the old school bmx stem were hard to find... so I bought some for a motorbike instead? They feel ok but maybe the bar/stem situation could be better. I’m not keeping it so not gonna change them now.
Went with cx comps, bmx grips, a nod to my past riding DH with the middleburn chainring and kept the weird back to front old shimano thumb Shifter that does the rear derailleur from the LHS. Need to find some sort of fruit basket for the front... suggestions welcome!
