So you know when you first get into building these bikes you buy lots of stuff you don't really need or turns out to be shite/cheap and gets chucked into the back of the shed? Well, I made some slightly iffy decisions early on and thought I'd throw them all together to make a pub/beater for the winter that I don't have to worry about leaving outside. F&Fs were the only 'purchase' - an Armourtexed 80s Falcon frame (£50 from stanmawr) - the rest of it from the discarded/embarrassing parts bin.
Almost finished it, just some bar tape and a I've an eye on some £15 NOS skinny black mudguards to lose in those huge brake drops. Has hilariously budget ebay-special wheels (I give them three months), cheap Michelin Dynamics, a Lasco chainset, BLB saddle, some old polished up Raleigh bars on an SR stem and a pair of Dia Compe levers which are too comfy to sell.
All I need now is a CREATE sticker (joke)...
