Chromed Cubismo Cruiser, Nickel Allrounder & other

Lovely colour.

Very looking forward to how this turns out.

always loved the chrome bike so im looking forward to the next version!

Thank you, I am still tinkering what to do with it, maybe ill pass it to my brother

Neon yellow brakes didn't work with the whole aesthetics of silver and classy green paint so I left black cantilevers. I am gear cables, flite, chain & small bits away from being finished

What size is the chrome frame...

It's about 18-19" but I am not located at UK & not sure if I want to sell it just yet

No problemo, I've been looking for a 26" frameset for a while and haven't come up with anything, was looking for aluminium anyhow. But if (somehow) you decided you could sell the frame I might be interested.
Also not UK based 😉

Dreamy!!

How long is that stem? 130?

I think so 😄 but its a good position with a this bar sweep

I finally got around to finish it, still little tweaks are in need. Needs a brass bell, silver bottle cage at some point. Proper photos soon

Very cool & subdued.

Should’ve put the neon Maguras on tho!

Nice, needs yellow magura's though!

Lovely thing!

Yeah I love that.... Very nice

Thanks for the good words guys : )

Maguras maybe will live on it in a future, but I really enjoy having canti on at least one of my bikes

Updating a project which nearly took a year.

It was a summer time, my fiance's birthday was on its way & I decided to gift her a retro mtb. She only has one roadie which she loves but I can't take her on any small trips off to gravel/forest roads. So there it goes. I found a Trek 970 from 1992 or something, it was battered but the lugs and sparkle purple colour looked great. It came all the way from Germany to Lithuania and once I started inspecting it, I found it had a crack at the chainstay. After getting almost full refund from seller, I gave it to my local lbs friends to weld it. They applied a small & solid patch of steel (maybe not ideal but fixed the case for the time being in a budget friendly way). I painted it with german-engineering-antirust-technology primer + black montana paints. You cant even see it now.

Some parts bin with 8 speed xt shifter & flashy xtr derailleur. Stridsland inspired moto bars + bmx stem combinacione. She also asked me to put a wald basket on front & purple cables for brakes, so it's on!

During spring time, I made her a halfie frame bag + a basket bag for runarounds the cafe/parks/shops etc. It's one of the most used bags in a house now haha.

Today we both took it to a local wild beach, taking our folding chairs, books and blankets for a cozy morning book read. On the mid way to the beach she said she wants to do couple of nights of bikepacking. Success : )

Here are some pictures

ID on the bars please?

Just a random alu motorcycle handlebar from a local shop

Update on Marin.

I received mudguards, put a wald basket on front, it's setup for my commutes or daily rides around, had a lovely time building it

My guy this is lovely!!!!

so good

@Josh @spotter ❤️

Stunning! Are those 2.15 or 2.3 DTH tires?
Only thing that bothers me is the front part of the front mudguard not aligning with the tire... and the white zip ties. ;-)

Dreamy! Such a good built.

excellent, all the bike one needs
