Bought this super clean Hard Rock in the fall for $80 and replaced the chain, crankset, pedals, brake pads, stem, bars and seat with parts I had around but I want to do much more.
The rear wheel has a 6 spd freewheel that’s no fun so I will eventually have to replace the wheel to fit a wide range 10 spd cassette. And that sucks because the rear wheel is perfectly true and the rim is in great condition.
I put the 1x crank on there temporarily, but plan on using 2x or 3x.
Do any of you have suggestions of what parts I should get? (2x or 3x derailleurs, shifters, wheels, maybe wide range freewheel? if that exists)
Also do you guys have any cosmetic suggestions?
I love the teal and orange combo but dont wanna over do it. Any other colors that would look nice?
What components or accessories should I get with some color to add some damn pizzazz?
Thanks!

It looks pretty cool just the way it is. Maybe an orange headset and brake/shifter cables, and grips?
Looks good. Ride it!
Topos, Green Guru and a company called OSO Supply (cheap) make nice colorful bike bags.
Dude 3×6 > 10. Whether you want small gaps or range you can find a 6 speed freewheel or upgrade to 7 (new shifter) and keep the rear wheel. Based on your saddle height I would guess you would find a shorter stem more comfortable. Some projects are just problematically short. Next bike!Â
Make it into a singlespeed
Klunker it baby!
i think it’s pizzazz’ed out as it is. I would add stickers, mounts, and racks but those are usually ugly. i mean everything that could be colored or chrome already is.
