bought this tired cube attention for £60 to build over time and at least i can get out riding it for now on the local trails!
so far this week ive bought a set of xt brakes,a load of hope bits,grips and stripped the front cogs off to a single front cog and a couple of new maxxis tyres!
so far ive spent £190 inc the £60 bike so im happy with that.
just need a nice straight steerer fox fork that im desperate for but cant find anything about at moment, can buy tapered no probs lol

    That's a nice looking bike, particularly with the new bits. Bargain for £60 too.

    thanks pal, the plan is to build it then strip it and get the frame powder coated in a nice matt black or gunmetal grey colour im thinking, just need to sort a front fork now its tiring trying to find a decent fox fork that isnt tapered!!
    im starting to look at rockshox instead

    Added another maxxis tyre, after waiting for Halfords mucking me about they gave me the tyre for free!
    Added some little purple derailleur cogs too as the old ones was worn out!
    Total spend £185 now inc bike!
