Hello!
My first time sharing a build on here so please be gentle with me.
Bought a 90's rockhopper from the fantastic @crossedthread (top guy, recommended seller!) here... https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/367255/
With a view to turning it into a gravel 1 x thing with a pizza rack so I can sack off my sweaty backpack. First impressions are it's surprisingly light for it's age, been told it has some fancy-ish tubing, so that's nice. Bars are wider than anything else I've ridden for about 15 years, so looking forward to smashing about on it around the marshes/flats in E London.
First pic is how I took delivery - frame, wheels, stem, bars, saddle, v-brakes, levers and a crusty BB.
On order are...
So far only the cassette and grips have arrived, so it looks as is in 2nd pic (apologies for inclusion of new pup, couldn't resist), more to be delivered today hopefully!
No idea weather groupset will work as this is my first deviation from roadie/fixed stuff, but fingers crossed! Also need to get the autosol out for the not-so-shiny bits, illustrated in the last pic.
Any feedback/ideas welcome!
