decided to build a budget hardtail to add to my ever expanding fleet of bikes, built using mainly parts scoured in the classifieds on here and bits and bobs i already had.

a big thank you to the people that have sold me bits with very honest descriptions and quick delivery.

    That looks nice. Is that an old skool SDG Bel Air saddle?

    Ace! Good looking bike. Can I ask in what price bracket it ended up costing? It's just nice to know how much these projects cost, compared to a similar off the shelf bike!

    Indeed, I have one on my XTC (and got one on the Coiler). They're also becoming increasingly difficult to find...
