Bought this bike for €10, and almost didnt take it because it looked so terrible and I thought what am i getting myself into. But after a lot of elbow grease, taking it apart and redoing brake- and shift cabling for the first time, I think it looks really nice.
It runs pretty good but the chain skips; not sure if it skipped before I restored it, but I did shorten it by two links so it might have sonething to do with that?
Overall a nice build and I can't wait to fix the chain issue so that it can replace my Trek 830 Antelope for a bit so that that bike can get the deep cleaning it deserves ✌️

Looks like great fun.
What was your decision matrix or logic in selecting the Billy Bonkers tires for this one?
Gorgeous. Good work mate
Brother 10€ for a look frame is a steal in any but broken in half condition.
Your rebuild looks sick too
I think this is way cooler than a trek 830!
A damn sexy build.
