After not being able to decide what i wanted to do with my fake aende thing, I realised it was mainly because it was never going to be exactly what I wanted,
So I spotted this

And its midget size (my size) so I thought why not.
Arrived from france today, and it is so so nice, never been built up or ridden and was only removed from packaging to take photos to put it up for sale.
On its way to me are french threaded BB and headset from VO in the US.
I ordered a 26,6 seatpost as I was told but its too big, so need to send that back and try again!
its sparkly good.
Already run into a problem
namely this:

Im right in thinking filing the axel is much more advisable than the fork...?
I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to build it up,
It'll be getting the wheels I have on the aende but I feel they'll get swapped out eventually for something shiny and silver.
Im looking for some chrome compact drops, I was tempted by risers but I'm pretty set on drops.
The shimano EX cranks I have will be going on this as the VO french threaded BB's are all ISO, and they're solid as anything, I also like how they look!
(sparkly)
