Hello fellow builders! I finally had time to head down into the basement and start my build. I'll again throw a european diamond frame into the ring. It won't become a rat, this time I have something shinier in mind.
Here's my starting point:
Nothing special (yet), I got it last autumn for very little money and it sat outside the whole winter, just waiting for the build off to start.
I took it in tonight and about an hour or so later, it looked like this:
Then I sorted out all the unneeded stuff (most of it went into the fleamarket box) and went through my parts stash.
That's what I will use (still some parts missing and some other's probably won't make the cut):
The bike must have spent some time on a sandy beach or so...
