Tootling the 1-2 miles to Uni every day on this and it is so fun. Not really changed in a few months, but:
New headset ready to go in, which was a bargain.
Got the stem from this coming from @TvH.
Made a chain stay protector which is useful.
Wider bars on the cards.
The £12 V brakes will get upgraded in the summer (they're rubbish).
Want to obtain some metal mudguards and I have two potential racks I can fit.
It is still too small really but it works for short trips.

Looks so so good

yes - brilliant thanks

what tyres are they? cheers

Wanted: v. long 1 inch threaded mtb stem please. The longer the better really. If you have any really wide bars to go with it that would be good too.

Basically just have a retro mtb which I nip about on but it is too small

Cheers

This is a sick bike/build/thread. Saw one of these parked up the other day

I do BSc Economics! Sheffield is local - 30 mins on the train :p

Where have you chosen to go? Those bike racks look like Belper morrisons

Ladybower! Are you from Derby or Sheffield by any chance? I'm at Uni in Sheffield and I couldn't recommend it enough.

bit of info on the builder/ cycles in motion

Yeah I think so lol but will double check

Just keeps coming loose and rattly. All bearings seemed fine when I reassembled it

Got a better seatpost installed and fitted a new cassette so the entire drivechain is new.
Headset is giving me headaches though. Is the best thing to do to get a new 1inch threaded headset or do something similar to @t0-ster and go for BMX style cockpit - not sure how to go about that though

cheers - not got a link have you please? I'm seeing some Jeff Jones ones for £150 and that is about it

This is my current Kaffenback setup https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/planet-x-kaffenback-2-30603

Really want some of those flat bars (what are they please?) and a small front porteur rack, maybe to just have one paint scheme too

I will try and offer £60 tomorrow playing the student card if most stuff works on it

It was on a rack of about 7 bikes in Sheffield outside a nice cobblers - think the owner does it on the side. Was tempted to buy for myself or sell on

I saw one of these complete today in size L for £80 - it had a matching painted stem which was stupidly long and so steezy

I have them on my retro mtb and they're fine. Can't argue with the price and if you're riding in a city they're great. No flats yet

Interested pending pics

Thank you

Please can someone recommend a front rack for a disc brake kaffenback https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/planet-x-kaffenback-2-30603

Only after a small one for a little bag as I have a rear rack, like this

Got a better seatpost to fit when I get round to it, the clamp on that one is extremely dodgey! New cassette today too
