My ebay bargin
« on: December 02, 2010, 06:41 PM »
I was bored on ebay the other day and ended up buying this just as something to build for fun.  I payed £42 inc the postage for the frame, forks, stem, seat and post.  I had a nearly new headset in my toolbox.  The tyres and brakes I had nocking about in the garage and  Ive got a nice new set of Truavtiv cranks to put on it that came on my RV24. 

I know the boss pro bars are not ment to go on a cruiser, but the bars that came with it were utter shite.  I kinda like the way they look as I will be riding this with the seat post up :)

I will only be using this bike to pop down the shops or down the boozer.  I hate locking up my S&M as I worry some chav scum is gonna try and nick it, I wouldnt feel too gutted if this got nicked. 

As I was at home because of the snow I got the allen keys out and put it together as far as I could with out having to go out and buy any parts.

Here is as it stands so far, not bad for £42.  I just need to buy a freewheel, bottom bracket, chain ring and seat post clamp.  I want to keep this build as cheap as possible so I am keeping my eye out on ebay for some bargins.  If any one has any old bits nocking about let me know.

Could look as good as this with a little of SBD's magic touch!
