I think that’s sufficient slave labour. Just needs to harden off before assemblage. Build will be fairly standard. Modern v brakes in silver I think. I want this to be a regular winter ride so needs to be geared and braked for the local terrain. Mudguards and rack? 8 speed wheels. Hoping original shifters and mech will be ok. We shall see.
