Retro MTB conversion to a commuter.

[@colinwellman9480]

Nice build. Early MTB were generally well made and make a great commuter or touring bikes for very little money. The one thing I'd do is trim those mudguard stays and put a plastic cap on the ends. I'll check out your other videos. Thanks for the video.

There isn't a single thing that I don't like about this build. The mudguards were a good call....pink cable outers...awesome! Great budget build 😎

@@thefreebikes4kidschannel279 Thank you, mudguards are essential at this time of year here!

Super cool bike to start with. U have earned urself a new subscriber my good sir. Much love

[@jaimezhang9386]

The pink cables are so perfect!

That bike was a grewt bargain for £45. As you say, clearly not used a great deal. I really like the colour scheme you chose, it definitely looks "interesting" and should make a lovely commuter. 😃

Nice build. As a bike commuter I much prefer a swept bar that puts me more upright and able to see around me more easily. Otherwise, great bike! Now, to check out your RockHopper; mine has pink cables too!

@@Korina42 Thank you. Stay tuned, a swept bar build is definitely in my near future.

Save the £3.95 you were going to spend on fasteners for the fenders and just use plastic zip ties! They're cheap and lightweight too! After that, cut the ends of those fender supports a little bit shorter, file them smooth and put small pieces of cable housing on them. They will help you not poke a hole in yourself accidentally 😂 Cool build dude!

Thanks! Fantastic review! load capacity 55kg is not enough for me. G-force RS may be better,, load 100kg, It feels like RS was designed for busy moms and dads.
