My "I don't need more than one bike" partner gets a second bike because I like putting stuff together and I have like too many of those already.
She currently rides the mixte I built a long time ago which has all but the frequently requested full chainguard bolted to it. Apart from that and a mirror nothing sensible could be added.
It's a basic steel frame, basic wheels, and with all the sensible stuff it's heavy.
So my brief was silver frame black parts from her, and try to make it on the lighter side of things from me.
Started with a 15€ never used no name aluminium frame that might work out.
Missed awesome syntace segmented carbon forks, got those from a Ku kids 26 bike.
Looks like they fit. Steerer is short so low stack cc headset is on its way.
Nice wheelset from Kleinanzeigen, not really weight weenie but kind of glad about it bc this means I don't have to buy a ta titanium BB.
