Hi, this was on the other thread so here is the story. This is the frame that I tried to trade here. I bought a 46cm medium matt black gangsta from craigslist LA. I turned out to be horribly rattle canned (over BB and headset) 40cm small. I was really pissed off and tried to contact the seller, but he never replied back. I had used the dispute earlier, when he didn't send the frame after I paid it. I was stupid and closed the dispute and you can't open it again. So here is the starting point:
Good thing is that gangstas geometry has about the same effective length in 40 and 46. So I decided to get it sandblasted and powder coated. I also got original decals from a friend.
So here is the build, finished today. Great to ride, still not sure about the looks - long seatpost makes it mtb-like. If I'm gonna keep it I'll use it for polo and "fun"-bike and the post can be lowered - this setup is for commute.
