I have a new project. I need a bike for work so I found this trash - a Dutch bike of the brand Sparta. It has a few original parts like the grips, bell, cranks, but it is overall bad. Last guy who touched it didn't know what he was doing, for example the rear tire is backwards, it has an arrow to point in the right rotation direction... The positive is that the frameset is OK, so I have a cool starting bones. It is a 28" 622 mm.
The fork is for a drum brake hub so it will get such a wheel. The kickstand is worn out at the joint so it will be replaced along with the rack. I will use the one with the moto stand.
The pedals are stuck in the crankset so the crankset has to go.
The shifter is with the brake on the right side.
I will use this older, but way nicer model. I have a normal brake lever that will go on the left as usual.
The seat is OK and it can stay. I already have replaced the original quill stem and bars (horribly twisted to one side probably because of a crash) with a quill to ahead adaptor and other bars.
It also has this cool drive train cover that I might keep.
