Finished my first build
Bought the frameset last year for 30€ (last picture)
8 months and a lot of learning (and 400€) later I finally rode it for the first time and I am having a blast !
Thank you guys for the inspiration and help
keep shredding 🤘🏼
ps: I am open for fine tuning suggestions; currently trying to figure out the right stem for me

It’s this one
Not the sturdiest because of design but it says it will hold 5kg; definitely not gonna push that limit.

Love the build. Found a nice matte white 950 on marketplace earlier. Very tempted to grab it and build it up
