This must be satisfying - your part finding and cleaning up is top notch!

So many Instagram points! It does look great though, I can feel the comfort from here.

Ideal for the odd fettle as well, especially if it's raining and you just want to get that little thing done...

Really smart. Good skills

This is going well. And the nice light workspace looks great...any more pics of that to induce envy?!

Better than going too short!

Ok probably weighted down enough then!

Pro tip from another happy owner of one of Dan's bags - I found that the flap is better facing you on the bike, as it then doesn't catch the wind. Looks great though, smart in all black.

Isn't is usually so that a lockring on the opposite side (usually shoulder/'lip' on the drive side, no shoulder, but a lockring, on the NDS) can screw down tight and hold the BB in place, without starting to affect the position of the other side, such as pulling it inwards or pushing it outwards...?

Gah I've just tangled my brain thinking about a BB's opposite screw threads and then the lockring thread as well - ignore me if no sense...

Aaaaand I think I'm talking about loose bearing BBs, not cartridge, so almost definitely ignore me. Sorry!

Very nice. Presumably they'll last for a good long time. What's happening around the edges of the panels in the clamped piece, or is that one of the windows and it'll have glass in it eventually?

A pair of used M520 pedals available, some scuffs but all solid and smooth, no play in the axles. £10 posted?

It's alright, you never see the C2W money anyway...so you can kind of pretend it isn't real?!

That's such a good ig account, always full of lovely bikes.

Also...

Boardman MHT 8.9

Giant Fathom 2 (£99 over)

Ragley Marley 2.0

All look pretty well-equipped to hit the magic price point, although who knows what stock levels/waiting times are.

So was it powder coated, new decals applied and then a lacquer of some kind over the top? I like the grey-blue of the frame.

Have the f&f been resprayed? Looks fantastic.

There are some very decent new mountain bikes for £1k, especially if you go for a hardtail. That's a discussion on its own!

If you're thinking of that direction for a mountain bike, the next question is how to bring your old mtb up to date for whatever you want it to be. You don't have to invest £££s to get there - just new consumables as needed to get it in a rideable condition, or at the more expensive end, maybe things like new drivetrain (ignore me if the old one functions just fine), mudguards/rack/slick fat tyres/swept back bars to become an excellent cruiser shopper bike in its middle age maybe.

We need pictures of it here!

Sure I won't be the only one to say... both?!

Depends what you want from it all. A new mountain bike (might not be any in stock... anywhere...for ages) for actual mountain biking, or your old mountain bike updated for off road (maybe a clutch mech etc., fresh tyres, brake pads, chain), or repurposed for commuting or other types of riding...?

thinking about brazing on some disc brake mounts hmmm.

'Budget build'...haha yeah we all think that at the beginning

Looks great though, and that pink splatter bottle cage MUST go on the bike.

Great colour, looking forward to progress pics!

A late thanks to @50crates, great communication and delivery of pedals. Cheers!

Class. Nice paint up close!

Thanks, very helpful (and hopefully for someone else as well) but I think it'll be a bit big for me. Glws, it's a nice jacket!

Sorry for potentially annoying question, but is it possible to provide cm measurements of the Marmot, like chest side-side, arm length, & shoulder seam to hem? Different brands seem massively different in sizes. Thanks!

Wow - practically my teenage dream
