Roast my new/old build

After selling my road bike last week, i felt weird not having a bike in my possession so resurrected this heap from my parent’s shed.

I was gifted this bike in original, but poor, condition 10 years ago. I painted it silver in 2016, road it for a few years, lent it to a friend for a couple years, loaned it to a brother for 2 more years and left it out in the rain since then.

After picking it up, I swapped over these 2.2 wide tires from another bike. I installed these bars, stem, rear derailleur, and 10speed cassette that I bought last summer from a yard sale. I also replace the cable housings with lightly used housing I had laying around. I spent $30 getting this thing up and running buying a chain and those purple cable ends. Grips were a AliExpress buy from a year ago for another project that never got used. The chain ring, if I remember correctly, was the cheapest oval chainring I could find on Amazon 3 years ago. Mismatched brake levers and other odds and ends from my hoard.

It’s a heap of polished poop at the end of the day but I think this will make the perfect errand rig, and will slightly deter thieves if I leave all the rust.
