    I did have a build thread but I am not very good at updating continuously. I have since fitted Albatros bars which have less distance on the sweep back and less rise so I think I'll keep with the current stem.

    I believe it is a tourer / trekking / hybrid of some sort, @platypus has the exact same frame I recall. This is how I collected it when I was living out in Rotterdam, for the grand sum of 50euro. It was pretty much stock but I had to strip it down mostly to transport it back to the UK. Similar bikes can be found in the NL for pennies.

    I bought a similar one for 70 euros in Rotterdam two days ago. :) Although mine is aluminium unfortunately.

  • such great bikes…few more of mine…ridden every day for 8 years now. it's almost part of me at this point.

    I settled on sram X0 9spd, 32t chainring and a 34t cassette, that’s been enough to get me up anything loaded. avid arch rival V-brakes with the black ops levers for a bit of bling.

    I fit 35mm voyager hypers (bought as many as I could when they discontinued them) under 45mmish metal guards, so def clearance for 42s.

    The frame rides nice with the two low riders and a carradice bag. It didn’t feel so great when I tried a longer front end and weight high up at the front. The fork is a bit flexy when you load the panniers up but I don't mind.

    I wouldn't repaint it, but you do you!
