Thanks to some other threads on here I decided I wanted to venture into the shopper world. Picked this up a couple of weeks ago and very happy with it as a starting point. Going to build up the rear with a hub from a spare wheel I’ve got doing nothing and will match rim and tyre. Will work with the cottered bottom bracket that’s installed at the moment and the cranks that came with it but don’t know if I can be bothered with the faff so might just swap for a cheap square taper and ratty crankset I’ve got lying around. Other than adding a rear brake as well, everything else will stay as is whilst I work out where I’m at with it. Hopefully add a front rack and guard too at some point and then mess around with it over time.
