My haro on a muddy ride

My haro on a muddy ride

My next post will be a muddy one !

The bike as i have it build up had cost me about €600, but i chose to build it with 'premium' parts. I guess you can build a very nice haro for around 300 if you manage to find a decent frame.

Thanks but i keep he setup as it is for now, invested quite some in this bike already. Here is a better photo of he cockpit as it is setup now. Rather try a 720mm flat with like 5mm rise or something i think that might climb a little better.

Yeah might try a bend bar out sometime. Have been looking at a salsa bend3 but not sure if i like how that steers. Pretty used tot my risers tbh

What color is the saddle?

Hi all,

I am from holland i got the idea of building a bike for my brother's birthday. I have a budget so am going to get a few parts new (crankset, saddle, chain, tires) and the rest from ebay and my garage where i have a few parts laying around (like most of us here i guess).

I am going to build it up as a singlespeed with a rear hub brake. So it will look clean as a fixie but with the safety of a brake. I have purchased a giant speeder frame, 54cm. I know it is a low end bike, but the paint on it is very good, it has some minor paint chips but that's it. I know my brother loves the classic nineties paint and it brings back nice memories for the both of us. Goal is to make it a mix of classic frame and newish parts, obviously with gumwall tyres.

I already have some components:
Rear wheel: Black H+Son sl42 (i guess) with shimano brake hub
Front wheel: Black rim (unknown brand) with campagnolo hub
Stem: ITM 'Big one' quill
Steer: ITM super italia pro
Bar Tape: BBB plain black

This is how the frame looks now:

Steering:


And this is how i am planning to have it when it is ready, did the best job i could with my non-existing photoshop skills:

Except for the Fi'zik saddle, that is too expensive, but sooooooo nice. Still thinking about the right saddle for this build.

after reading all this i have the feeling i should ditch my plastic cinelli unicanator

thats just awesome nice

i have a 20 liter backpack from the company 'overboard'. just 35 pound and it never flawed me, even in all the winter storms here in holland last year 100% dry, i carry a macbook pro in it :)
