Darkrock Travel 700 frameset

I haven't built this yet but I received my frameset from Aliexpress. The store was Rongyaosports store. Anyway, I had clicked to the rebate to save several dollars (can't remember where I clicked, I think it was above the price).
I made the thread here because it's a touring frameset even though I want to build it like a hybrid. The following parts I bought for it:
Sugino 110 BCD 5 arm cranks 172.5mm with Stronglight 36T chainring, Truyou metal chainguard and Motsuv crankset bolts (I think they were 8.5mm)
Sunrace SLM96 friction shifter, Sunrace 11-40T nine speed cassette, Sunrace nine speed chain and Shimano Acera RD-3020 rear derailleur
Dimension 25.4 Urban Cruiser Bar 620mm 55mm rise, 40 degree sweepback (in other words for real comfort)
Selle Royale Freeway saddle 158mm
I also have Shimano T610 hubs and simple Alex x202 rims. Even though the rims are cheap I like the look. I also have Tektro M730 V-brakes and Jagwire yellow brake pads.


It looks like metallic blue in person, really impressive.
