I've always wanted to own a mini velo for ages and when I was suddenly hit with "the itch" I immediately went hunting online. I was on a budget so I really had to look very hard, and after a couple of failed attempts I found a good deal and just jumped on it. As you can see from the before photos it needed some TLC.

The frame was originally set up for multiple gears and caliper brakes, however I wanted a clean single gear ride. So here's how it came out after a week of cleaning up. Sorry, for the missing build photos because there weren't any. I was too excited as I always am when building that I didn't have time to take snapshots. I still hope you like the outcome :)

As of writing, my god daughter has now taken over this baby and made it her daily commuter. Oh well, I'm glad I recently acquired a spare frame :21:
