Built this thing out of my spare mk1 rsw... Decided i wanted to have a little fun with it.. Been riding it for the last week or two and its a great laugh, Quick as its barebones for a RSW.
*Original Wheels with 3 speed working( gripshift)
*Dynamo front hub that was working perfectly so should you want to add lights its a great bonus.
*Thin n fat knoblies on it, Fat up front, skinny in the back.
*RALEIGH 20 stem as i was going to fit bmx bars but couldnt find a set i thought i had spare...
Was going to go the whole way and paint it up in team colours... But decided to just get it riding and enjoy it... Ive gotta make some room here, And the bank doesnt like what my puch maxi just cost to build... So this has to go...
BAD BITS:
*Its matt white (primer) Easy to clean, and very thick but its over some blue previous owner paint... It was done as a lets see what it looks like stopgap... So not perfect, Its a tenfooter realy.
*3 speed hub is a bit grouchy. Works thru all three gears perfectly, But i think the pawls on the freewheel are a little sticky or somthing as it has a rough feel. Probably just needs some decent oil or a quick cleanup as per bomberman's guide....
*no back brake, I just cant find one to put on. Simple as that.
Remember, Its a pub-bike, fun up the woods type thing , Not a show bike. I built it to enjoy it.. ;D
I have the original mudguards if you want them thrown in too....
