I scored the xbiking bug. Where should I take it? My wrists don't like flat bars, so looking to get something curvy or droppy. Are brooks still hip? How'd you all rig this up?
I’m relatively new to the scene, but for me, aesthetically the crank choice is critical.

I am all about this paint job. I agree with another commenter, some nice silver cranks, if it were me I’d make it a triple… But I can understand some people don’t care for front derailers. Got to be silver to pop against those flash wheels.

If it were me, I’d say go with Bullmoose bars in the front, silver vintage crank (a nice Sugino if you can find one), and then for the seat, either Brooks or a Selle Italia Flite. Velo Orange also has a nice 1x crank if you don’t want to go 1x with an old triple.

bars
Drivetrain, cockpit, rack/s.
Edit: I like alt bars; Bosco bars, Mary Bars, Albatross, Jones… depends on the reach, height and swept angle you want… also the look.
Yes, a lot of us still rock Brooks
Get another frame
Put it on marketplace for at least £500
Front rack
> My wrists don’t like flat bars
Bars with a good backsweep.
lets see, mustache bars, front basket, one by drivetrain and spending 1000$ on it
You’ve already crippled it with BMX tires. Shot it right in both feet
Unless you’re hucking sick drops some fast rolling tires should be your jam
Deore 1×10 should also be your jam
Cockpit, or figure out what group you’re going to run. I’d start at the BB/cranks.
If you’re keeping that cassette, I’d do a 2/3x in front. Wouldn’t go 1x without a new, larger cassette.

I think it needs all chrome everything from here forward
