£40 Marketplace Refurb

Found this Kink Gap 2019 for £40 on marketplace.

Picked it up in fading light, everything rotated so I thought it wouldn't be too bad.

Everything that could corrode or seize (apart from the top headset bearing) had corroded or seized.

After around £70 in parts and £30 in tools/workshop stuff its back to being rideable. I still can't get the seatpost out but it rotates when I hit it which is good enough.

Had to CAD and 3d print bearing drifts to push fresh bearings into the hub driver and shell.

Mechanically it seems good enough, front hub cups are a bit rough and I can't find a happy amount of cone tension, got a tiny bit of wiggle but if I tighten it any more it doesn't spin.

All my other bikes are disc brake and the Odyssey Springfield felt like a lot of work for very little braking power, it's slightly better now it's bedded in a bit.

Used rust converter on the frame/forks/cranks and it's caused a lot of bubbling/ugliness so it'll get a respray this winter if I like it.

First time on a BMX and it's a hoot on the pump track and I managed 2 bike lengths of fakie and had an unplanned sit down looping out trying to manual.
