The intention of this build was, to build a bike, my wife would ride. She is not into bikes at all. They just have to work and bring her from A to be B without any hassel. So it had to tick a few boxes like:
  • being light
  • low and comfy saddle
  • kickback break
  • at least three speed
  • rack with a basket
She already did a 30ish kilometers trip on it and she liked it so far. So it looks like I managed to get it done according to her needs.

This is how the bike looked in the ad (seller pic):

As our car broke I had to pick it up with my trailer, as well as the donor bike that gifted the wheelset, handlebar and stand:
