I bought a Mirra Five Star intro a while back with the intention for changing a few bits and pieces but as it turned out the Mirra was too small for me. I had already started to buy a few parts for the Mirra so thought instead of upgrading that I would try and get enough parts to build a complete bike.
Here is a couple of pictures of the Mirra all cleaned up (it was in a bit of a state when I bought it) prior to me selling it on.
I joined the forum a few days ago and have finally finished my first build, heres the spec and I will get some better pictures as and when I can. The aim was to build up a bike using either quality secondhand (SH) parts or discounted/old stock (DOS) new parts to try and keep the price down (although still afraid to total it all up as i went a little
)
Here goes.
Frame - Failure Grade 2, Kelly green, 21'' TT (SH) .
Fork - Volume Genesis, originally aubergine but now sprayed black (DOS).
Headset - Eastern integrated (DOS).
Cranks - We The People Royal V2 (DOS).
Sprocket - We The People Supreme 33T (DOS).
Pedals - Gusset black plastic (DOS), in the market for something nicer, perhaps Shimano DX or DMR V12's.
Stem - S&M Redneck XLT (SH).
Seat post clamp - S&M Redneck (DOS).
Bars - Stolen Cell Block 28'' wide, 8'' rise (DOS).
Grips - DK (DOS).
Seat post - Kink pivotal (DOS).
Seat - Stolen (DOS).
Brake caliper - Salt+ Geo (SH), need to stop pads from squealing.
Brake lever - Eclat Sniper (DOS).
Brake cable - We The People Vector (DOS).

Here's some dodgy pictures.
How's that for a newb?
