build now awaiting my rear derailleur... and front axle conversion on my am classic.

Agree with Liggero on this one, love the simple finish with no daft graphics! Have you considered some custom stickers though, maybe just little ones to 'personalise' it a bit?

yea same frame, i almost got it from funhousy.. but working in the shipping... funhousy ended up being a tad more costly than light_wholesale , for me anywaes.
so far, my only gripe is that i am unable to fit a taper headset, conversion cup will fit, but bcos the headset is formed with a alu "cup" (as shown in the drawings in the sales description), the tapered steerer is obstructed... had to change my build. oh well, minor niggle.
