iwannadancesomesalsa on June 28, 2024 10:35 am This looks like a lot of hassle for what’s gonna end up as a still shifty bike
niceguynah on June 28, 2024 10:36 am Hard to find anything on Minstral bikes. I think they were made in Poland. Butted tubing. Done well for £20 I’d say.

DrMabuseKafe on June 28, 2024 12:11 pm Wow looks fabulous. I would keep original paint. New proper brakes, comfy old school saddle, new chain (IDK about wider bars but if you feel commuting better go wide)
MonsterKabouter on June 28, 2024 12:25 pm Looks like a good simple bike for around town. Basic service, replace dry rubber parts, use as is
very-good-dog on June 28, 2024 12:59 pm id say lower the stem, new tires and brake pads, MAYBE a new chain. for 20 any currency thats a steal

I mean I certainly wouldn’t have paid more than that for it.
