I asked you guys a few weeks ago for advice if I should rebuild a 27'' bike. I did it and I thought you guys might wanna know how it went, I finally got it done today (with a bit of help from expat ) and here are some pics:








The final fit and tightening of the gear levers, wont be until tomorrow, the front brakes arent hooked up yet, I need to find a part for it. Ive taken it for a ride and its a lot smoother and a tad faster.

I went back to the old school levers (no clicks) because I like them, I had em lying around, and I find it really easy to find the gears with them.

Im a bit disappointed with the paint job. I shoulda done some more research on how to spray paint effectively. As I have already put a few scratches on the bike. It took me 8 hours to sand it back. Aaaargghh.

Overall Im happy with it, it will be a good commuter/beater bike. Since most people over hear ride mtn bikes, I should be able to ride a lot faster than me. Most people wont bother stealing it because it looks kinda bad, and people will take a mtn bike over it.

Does anyone know of where I can get cycling stickers online (to ship to Aus)? Or can some kind soul send me some? (please). Just to cover up a few scratches.
