STBO Mixte bag

Couple little jobs today.
Found a pushrod for the shifter and installed it, also changed out the 22t sprocket for an 18t.

Liking the mods and look of this, GTH. Color scheme works as a flashy BMX for sure! Any thoughts to frame painting? Or maybe a clear to make it pop with your other colors?

Don't want to send any 'mixte messages'; I like how she stands now too.

I honestly have no idea on the paint at this stage. At first I was definitely painting the frame. But now I look at it and don't mind the original paint and decals. I might clean it up, and add a coat of clear to make it pop.

Got the frame cleaned up today, and applied a coat of blo. Looking nice out in the sun.

Found a better location for the shifter also, much better. I wanted to keep the front end clean, hence the suicide shifter.

Ditched the mtb forks and fitted up a bmx set. Looks cooler, suits the colour theme

Swapped out the fork, and cut the rear end for tyre clearance.
Then threw some parts at it for a look see. Planning to run the 7 speed internal geared hub. I like the clean look without a derailleur. View attachment 279380View attachment 279381View attachment 279382View attachment 279383View attachment 279384

What’s a hub like that cost. I’m thinking of that for a future build

No idea on the cost. I bought a donor bike, just for the hub. Love IGH. The machinist in my has a strong dislike for derailleur's
