The brake is old, it was reused from my old Schwinn. Ill probably go with an inexpensive Tektro or Dia Compe.

Just for good measure I bought a new BB even though the cranks and BB are only around 4 months old, but after its first ride it confirmed most reviews say. The Powerspline BB has a clunk clunk .... clunk clunk .... clunk clunk thing to it. I might ditch the cranks for a SRAM S300 or some other inexpensive piece, but not right this instant.


Any comments or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Looking good!
I would lose the decals through. There's also a voice in my head that's whispering those wheels should be silver.

Wheel or frame decals?

Wheel decals of course; classy frame decals are here to stay

Very nice, I've been pretty tempted by the deals on that bike as well.

+1 for silver wheels though

I may get some black vinyl and cover them, just to see how I like it.
The price of the frame/fork, headset and seat post were too good to pass up. I would do it if I were you.

Wheels are staying black. Crank may be change to silver though.


To resemble this .............
