Jesus! I've gone blind.

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
I built this earlier this year as a snow & ice / 'dump it anywhere' bike:

SP150_zps10e35812.jpg


Raleigh SP150 frame / stem / seat
Shifters / bars / rear wheel and rear brake from a Viking Targa DD24 that I'd bought for £10
Front Manitou shocks which were a similar colour from eBay for £12
Front wheel from eBay for £5
Rear mech from my son's scrapped / bent MTB
Spare bar grips from a Python Impact
New Truvativ crankset and Shimano front mech - that blew the £50 build budget :blink:
Bottle cage from a Decathlon Sport
New orange cables

There's a set of Ice Spikers to go on it for winter :cold:

Originally built this up as a wet weather/around town bike, but when I moved I no longer had room for quite so many bikes, so I fitted a better set of wheels and it became my all-rounder.

Peugeot PGN-10 frameset (Reynolds 501)
Fulcrum Racing 7 wheelset
Shimano UN55 BB
Stronglight ST55 crankset
Shimano PD-M530 pedals
Shimano 8 speed cassette
Brand-X seatpost
Charge Spoon Saddle

Pictured are Vittoria Rubino tires, but it's now running Schwalbe Ultremo ZX

Cockpit and rear dérailleur are original after stripping down, cleaning and polishing.
 
These are the bikes I've either built from the frame up or stripped right back and restored/rebuilt with a mix of refurbed and new parts.
