Bought a very sorry looking Killer V through Facebook Marketplace. Guy had had it on ebay for a while and surpisingly no takers, looks like he had taken the frame and forks to Halfords and they kitted it out with all their cheapest components. It was well overpriced and it looked all wrong.
Here it is as I got it:
The only original items were the seat post and clamp.
I saw it on FM at a reduced price to what it had been on eBay, but it was still way overpriced as only the frame and forks were any good. So I threw in a lower offer and he accepted.
It's taken me a while to source the parts and the hardest bit was getting a 1 1/4 stem :roll: but one finally arrived yesterday from the States (only took about a month).
The blue Dia compe brakes came all the way from Poland so its a bit of an international build. But I'm very pleased with how it has turned out and how lovely it rides.
