Kinda feels like I dodged a bullet somewhat! I do hate it when things fail to turn out to be as advertised/all you hoped them to be - that's happened to me on more than one occasion!Hope you like the route I’m going?
It has not been a cheap build as the seller forgot to tell me the Seatpost was well and truly seized in, tried to say it’d been moved two weeks prior but I sent him pics from his adverts last year with it in exactly the same position He’s ignored my requests to help pay the pricey cost of removal which I had to entrust to a top local chap. Guy had built a special rig for just such issues that pulls rather than twists.
I’d looked at the Seatpost man, would have been £80 plus around £60 round trip in post! I paid £100.
Seller also failed to mention cassette was 9 speed as was chain and shifters were 8 speed plus the headset was shot with missing bearings and gouged races
Paid by bank transfer stupidly but you live and learn.
Luckily the post came out with no damage to the frame.
Here is the company I used and a pic of the kit in action, it’s actually a video so worth watching on FB
I do like what you're doing with it though, as I would have taken a similar route.
