here's the $20 GT mtb.. already stripped down
that bike donated its wheelset, chain and rear derailleur to the diamondback.. it's actually a bike now.. though just barely lol.. currently one speed and one brake. i need to get a stem with less rise though.. i might switch to v-brakes instead of canti, then i'll have more stem options
was able to use the 135mm wheel with my 130mm frame.. the hub had a 5mm spacer so it could be used with either sized frame, but the skewer and axle are too long for a 130mm frame.. so just put the spacer on the outside and redished the wheel. better than spreading out the stays cause that gets annoying when you want to remove the wheel often
