• no ability to build wheels myself

    Same here.

    I have a 21 year old nephew whos a little bmx punk, he builds his own bmx wheels and does it for all his friends. But for some reason I dont trust him to build a big wheel.

    What are those bars and stem?

  • no idea ! one of the freebies (surly hubs too) i found for the build... the stem is for 25.4mm bars has an internal clamp mechanism.
    i like it so far but i might go for gravel bars such as the funns. also might go for disc forks. but it is essentially a lock-up bike so everything visible will stay (has to) low-key. the inly thing is i'd like to set-up the wheels tubeless for a bit of performance off-road

  • Yeah similar plans here ssmtb-sscx-dadbike-commuter as cheaply as possible but still ok to ride.
    If I keep the inbred frame though I'll probably need some cheap chinese suspension corrected forks. The head tube angle on these inbreds was pretty steep as it is without a fork thats too short.

    Paint has came off the surly forks very well now so the polishing begins
