This one epresents a bit of a change of thinking for me, brought about by a growing realisation that both my skills and resources are rather limited and the super-sano restorations I admire so much on these forums are beyond me -- at least for now. And also, my obsessions tend more toward riding than spending time on the tools, which makes me too impatient to create the brilliant results I see here.
Anyway, this frame came up on local Facebook Marketplace and I jumped on it because it was the right size (20") and, being scruffy, was affordable. I read some good reviews on the internet and decided that, as it's not a collectible, it should be built up as a lightweight XC bike, shabby but functional. And I'd use whatever parts I have in the hoard to get it there.
Below are details of the frame from the original ad.
