I've had one of these before, but it was many years ago, and times have changed so i feel the need for a fresh one. Both builds are/were supposed to be budget builds. One I commute on everyday, the other is just for a bit of fun.

the daily hack - handed down to me by my dad, he used to ride it many moons ago, all thats changed is the wheels bars and seat. still rides like a dream.

the silly build - was supposed to be a very cheap budget build as a warehouse slag for anyone to borrow, this is no longer the case...

and the most recent 'challenge...' - bought off some old boy for pennies because i thought it would be fun to build. It isnt.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
