ballisticz4 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Fistly, I would like to say thanx to all the forum members that assisted me with parts to build a bike for my nephew. It's nothing spectacular, the objective was to get him mobile, which I think we accomplished. Still some finishing touches to be done, got to get some V brakes. I took the levers off my Huffy (scrap) as it's got an all in one unit. Some snags encountered along the way, among them the routing for the front derailleur, the old frame runs from the bottom, the parts I got runs from the top (never saw that one coming), rear derailleur needs a hanger (neither did I see that one), fork did'nt fit as well. This bike give an amazing ride, probably because it's as solid as a tank. Some of the goodies, like the 9 speed cassette, shifters will be going onto a frame for myself as I'm now minus some components. No way I'm gonna give him that LOLOL. Was thinking of resparaying the bike, if and when funds allow it, I'll get him another frame and do a proper rebuild for him. Again, a beeeg thanx to all. Here as some pics of the bike and Joshua, my nephew.
