I picked up this frame for free recently, and thought I’d try to build something up using only parts from my parts bin. In the end the only thing I had to buy to make the build work was the seatpost as it’s some weird Mongoose size. The bike rides really well! I have no intentions of keeping it though, got way too many bikes, so this one’s going straight to FB Marketplace.
