This is my baby. I have quite a long story to tell on this one. It all started back in 2008 when I tried to build a bike on my own, but I couldn't find enough money. I bought a few parts back then, but I was stuck with them and couldn't do anything. In December 2012 I got enough money to build it from scratch. I bought many second hand parts from a guy which tricked me real bad. They all broke down after a month or so. I finished it in March 2013 and I've been riding it happily since then. I personally find it attractive(no, not that way). Here's a picture.magellan_polar_x_table_top.jpg
What do you think? :D

    It's a 2008, it was never meant to compete with the ones in the present and I think we all know that. It's just that I'm emotionally attached to it and in some way, I see it like my future antique to keep in the back of my garage. I'll remember it as my firsts bike built from scratch, don't get me wrong. I'm probably a weirdo.

    I think you've got the wrong end of the stick.

    Those brakes are the wrong way round.
