    Just wait until you get in your 60’s when you wake up with a hangover, and you don’t even drink . 👍✌️😎

    Build looks awesome!
    I hear the struggle on the Allen key and brake boss bolts, then after struggling I realise that the job would be so easy without wheels in the way, still don’t remember for the next time either! 😅😅😅

    Try putting an old quill stem n the seat post, then put it in the vice and twist it till it comes out.

    I've fitted those Tektros to my old Dawes Galaxy and they were better than the Shimanos I had on previously

    And the moral to this cautionary tale is, "Just stay drunk". This series has been the best to date. It's stomp down inspirational.

      I really appreciate this. Thank you. It’s been a great opportunity for me to reset and have fun!! Definitely won’t be the last cheap build. The next is on the way!! 😎

    You have to be careful with these kinds of valve caps that have metal thread inside of them. Due to humidity corrosion happens and they get stuck and you won't be able to take them off and inflate the tube. A bit of lubrication might help, I use a bit of Park Tool HPG-1

      Thats right. Plain plastic dust caps are the best for the job.
      Very often its a mistake to reinvent the wheel

    just got my tools for my final attempt at ultraviolence in my CBBO... somehow I'm under budget and have three bikes

    That has to be THE ugliest bike I've EVER seen, whatever you spent on it, you over-spent ...... by THAT amount. Truly hideous!

    • @2NDLIFEBIKES

      Thanks for taking the time to watch my hideous bike be built. It means a lot to me to get constructive feedback I can work on and improve. I dedicate this bike to you. Greg.
