Seeing as the Funk won't be here for a week or so I had to find something to tinker with now the Dale is finished. Bought this on the bay this afternoon as a fill in project- it'll suit the missus a treat
Its a wee thing- 14.5" and is supposedly '92ish.
My plan is to try and build a credible retro ride for less than £150. I already have some bits and bobs to go on it- you know the spares that are not even worth selling- mis matched shifters, slightly tatty M-733 levers, short quill stem, amber Wild Grippers that came off the Cannondale, a rear XT mech and a pair of no name wheels with Shimano hubs that have had a quick service and straighten. So I'm halfway there.
Any suggestions and pointers to a cheap low maintainance build for the missus would be mucho appreciated. What bars? Chainset? Brakes? should I put on it. I want it to be half decent and don't mind spending a little more next month when the old tax return is sorted but I don't want to go mad.
Finally any idea where I can find Pics and spec of the standard bike?.
Cheers me dears
