Bargain!

Just a bit of a rant. Decided it's time to rebuild my main bike this weekend -- something is creaking in the BB area, chain is done for (chain checker is loose at 1.0 mark), I'm not happy with stock 2x setup, brakes more squeal than brake -- you know how it is with used bikes. Done everything I wanted, including routing rear brakes cable through the frame (not fun at all with a steel frame with no internal guides; had to use endoscope and prayers to do it) and cleaning hub bodies just to find out that PC-1130 chain I just bought is too short. 38T chainring, 40T biggest cog -- and it isn't long enough to just make a loop, let alone route it through RD. Serves me right for getting the cheapest chain online with no OEM box.

What colour should I get?
Gorgeous baby blue™

With an ongoing obsession to build a bike to last, I decided to order a steel fork to suit my needs. They only had the one left as dead stock. Will be a project modification to help make winter sessions more enjoyable with peace of mind.

That brown red purple is great.
Will also look good with those hot forks.

this might be something
But what? 😬
Front cantilever with a long 1" steerer is a recipe for chatter, under-bracket U-brake is seized pivots waiting to happen. The Spengles won't like a tyre that goes properly with the frame because they're too narrow.

Yes.

Puttering to the beer stands along the river bike? Or off to the pub bike? I did some touring on this frame last year and the stand over was a bit to0 high when i got into some rough stuff. So i built a new bike for that. All the bits where in literal stacks in my lockup so maybe i stick them together? Im pretty sure i can sneak a 35/37 if im careful

You could, but you could also likely sell the Spengles for enough to cover some wheels which would really work well with that kind of tyre🙂

Couldn't pass this up for £250... Saddle is mine bit apart from the rear brake cable its all functional. It'll need some nicer tyres and some swept back bars.
