Really shaking my head over this one. The guy cut holes in almost every tube of this bike to route cables internally, then welded tabs for disc calipers front and rear. Compromised the frame and fork in huge ways, and is so proud of his work that he alwants someone to pay $1k for his experiment.

I like it. I like it for a fraction of that price.
Garbage
This is a super cool build. The price is a bit high but that’s a nice ride!
Seems like a ton of extra effort to do internal routing only to not paint all the sanded areas but maybe they’re going for that aesthetic?
Side note, are those brakes any good? Has anyone used them on their builds.
Damn, that fork is a deathtrap.
Didn’t this guy post his build to this sub a couple weeks ago?
“reliable”
Yikes.
I frowed up
Would not ride
I wonder how long they’ve used the fork, and how well it’s holding up!
Braze-ons is the word i think you want.
Honestly, i would probably do something like this to a bike of my own, even if it’s just for fun or to learn. But i would never sell it, especially looking like this
Perfect cruiser/ commuter my ass.
Bike needing paint job increases its value 10x
And it’s a fucking HARD ROCK!? Does nobody understand that these bikes are the fucking. Honda Civic of bicycles? Sure they made a lot and they’re not expensive, but they sure aren’t something fucking special for it. Jesus fucking Christ
No. Just, no.
I had most of the same thoughts that most people brought up. It’s local to me, it’s been posted for a couple months.
Edit: didn’t see op posted actual link.
It’s like a Fabergé egg. Beautiful and fragile. Just sit back and love it from a safe distance.
Ugh, that’s rough. To be honest I have drilled a seat tube for a dropper, but that was right at the bb.
