  • Bought this because I couldn't resist the terrible match of purple and red.
    Plan is to build it up mostly with stuff from my parts bin.
    I want to build it up single speed, what is the least ugly chaintensioner out there?
    For the brakes I'm thinking about SRAM s500 levers with mini v's or canti's. Or should I go for Tektro rl520 with normal v-brakes?
    Any advise would be nice:)

    A derailleur 😁

    Not sure about looks, but considering what people are asking for chain tensioners I'd be inclined to buy an RD-M310

    Only if you love the 1970s style hood shape. Better to get SRAM if you already like the hood shape and one of the Shimano 90mm V brakes (BR-R353, BR-R463 or BR-R573)

  • Would one of the eccentric bottom bracket converters work with the frame? Would look way cleaner than a tensioner
