Bike Build

Needed a bike for MTL. Get healthy, don't pay Metro fare etc. Got what you see here for $50. Very solid frame, fairly light, and a surprisingly nice DIY paintjob.


Finding cheap wheels was another issue, thankfully I had these gems in Calgary. 27" on what should be a 700c frame. Seemed to work out.Just worked out. Really happy with the way this looks
Chiseled off the inner chain ring to I wouldn't have to space my crankset. Definitely cleaned up the whole look of the bike!
I don't have a finished pic because its dark out now, but I'm sure you all get the idea. Overall really happy. I went single speed and am able to tackle most hills on my route. Feel way healthier with the amount of riding I'm doing, and am even continplating riding this winter!
