Unfinished 90’s mountain bike restoration and conversion to bikepacking rig

This is my unfinished build, it features the steel frame of an Apollo GT (An old halfords bike). I sandblasted the paint and rust off and top coated the raw steel, and painted the fork black. I used spare parts wherever possible and thus far the build has only cost £40 (which was spent on racks, a brake set and some bags not in this photo)
