This build was a continuation of my Mesa Buggie build from last year's 2016 Off Road Build Off. This year I added a 6 spd freewheel along with a vintage Shimano Eagle rear derailleur and operated by a late '80s Shimano thumb shifter. That's on the 'go' side. On the 'slow' side, I added an Avid BB7 disc brake kit for a rear brake, along with an adapter to mount the caliper to the rear stays.
