Been trying to find a good cheap run around/commuter/fun times frameset for a while but nothing has quite ticked all the boxes. But yesterday spotted this on the Bay and now can start planning the build.
Where possible it will be parts bin build, have a front Dynamo wheel to go in from the current commuter and might run a SS conversion kit to begin with on the rear.
Other than that will be a functional build, full guards, potentially a wald, nicely swept bars. But I need inspiration. Give me your best functional MTB builds please.
Tyre, Bar, guard and luggage carrying suggestions very welcome.
Most Importantly I actually need to collect it...from the other side of the Country. Based in Cardiff an bike's in Hertford, so a bit of a road trip due.
