Needed an extra bike for the kids to ride to the ice cream shop and had a few good parts spare so decided to knock together another build.
The frame is interesting. 27.5 wheels with tapered steerer but 135qr rear wheel and IS brake mounts were a bit of a struggle.
Cost around $800 to build not including the forks and a few other small things. Microshift drivetrain was overkill but was seriously the easiest to tune groupo I've ever fitted. 2 turns of the barrel adjuster and done. Bike will need cranks though as i had to steal some off the STP to complete it.
Frame - Brand X HT-01 small
Front fork - Suntour Aion 140mm
Handlebars - Brand X (cut to 670)
Stem - Brand X (60mm)
Headset - Brand X
Grips - some old cheap ones i had
Saddle - another old part i had lying about
Seatpost - as above
Front brake - SRAM Level T
Rear brake - SRAM Level T
Cranks - borrowed from the STP for now
Chainguide - has mounts but not fitted
Chain - shimano HG something
Pedals - some cheap plastic ones
Rear derailleur - Microshift Advent X
Rear shifter - Microshift Advent X
Cassette - Microshift 11-48
Wheelset - Shimano MT500
Tyres - some old ones from the parts bin
Tubes - yes, tyres too old for conversion.
Total weight - unsure but guessing 13kgs
