really?
even a beater wheelset in excellent condition as above (true, good braking surfaces) would cost a fair bit
frame for under £10 with no structural damage/rust and decent dropouts are hard to come by. either that or you'll get one with a stubborn seatpost or some other annoying problem.
Apart from that the important bits on this build like headset, bb, brake cables, pads, front wheel bearings all new or never fitted
I'm happy with value and she's not too bothered with bike aesthetics.
If I see she suddenly turns into a keen cyclist and wants to join me on weekend rides I may put the whole thing on sale for a couple of notes and get her a nice birthday present.
