So this is the build I've been planning for a while, it's my budget bike for uni next month and the pub etc! Since my commencal frame died a bit of a death, i decided to get a move on building this. The frame arrived today from our own "Tony620" and it's gorgeous and in fantastic condition, deal with him in confidence! Cheers, Tony!
I was going to put all the nice bits from my Commencal on this, but the pikes were too short, so i thought to hell with it, i'll just build this up with my budget parts. It's essentially some new bits, some old bits i had lying around, and a couple of bits i've had to scrounge off my other bikes (seat, grips and cranks from the commencal, wheels and back brake from my mongoose, i've put some cheaper tattier wheels on that though so it still runs).
Sorry for the bad photo, it's off my phone, i'll take some better ones on my dad's DSLR tomorrow. Still cable routing, gear indexing, front brake bleed (needs doing BADLY) and a few other little bits to do, other than that. that's about it.
