actually I'm teaching my friend how to wheelbuild. 28h Ambrosio Excellence Gunmetal Blue Team Edition. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...o/IMG_0285.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...o/IMG_0279.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...o/IMG_0281.jpg |
This is my first singlespeed build. It's a 17 year old Malvern Star frame I had in the garage (I used to race on it many moons ago). The parts are all things I had lying around the garage.
