Just want to hear your thoughts about my bike, been riding this for many years now, I converted it to single speed but since the chain tensioners are expensive I used an old stx derailleur I had hanging around, I used it in 13×52 (cog teeth X chainring teeth) configuration but now I’m switching to 16×54, the frame it’s a no-name a friend sold me, terrible paint to which I added some stickers 🙂 , only one brake since at the time I hadn’t cables for routing the rear one but turned out one is just enough, the carbon fork was damaged by my brother but i had it fixed with a carbon patch, cut the leather for bar tapes by myself. Next step is to change the BB for something lighter (now there’s a square tapered). Do someone know which frame is it??

Cool AF! But please put some bar end plugs in , you don’t wanna be punching a hole in yourself if you bin it….
Nice bike)

Ditch a smaller chainring and you’ll get roughly the same weight saving result while keeping a robust square taper BB that will outlive the whole bike. Look for specs of your desired HTII BB with cranks weight and what your current setup is, I’m pretty sure weight difference will insignificant
