Since coming back from Seoul with this Gem. I found it hard to piece together what I wanted for this bike. With all my builds I’ve always had the theme sticking with certain categories. This time round I just want the BEST of the BEST.
Had this bike for a while now, about 15 months. Here is what it used to look like.
Just recently changed a bunch of parts on it in time for Resurrection Weekend in Auckland.
It’s a fun bike for blasting around town on and feels ultra stable going down hill with the big bars on.

After moving on the Cinelli I was on the hunt for something a bit cheaper. Here is what I ended up with…
I had to mill out the rear drop-outs for extra chain tension but so far she’s rollin’ sweet.
The old school BMX cranks are awesome as is the 42×18 ratio for trickability …and yes, she is 700c barspinable 
Total cost: $42.95
