This is my first build off, so here goes nothing! :shock: I've decided to rebuild my Giant Simple, some old info on it is here:

Here it is mocked up with some ape hangers (which it never got)
And its current form at the moment
The plan is to turn it into a board tracker and freak out some of the fixie guys at a bike event coming up in a few weeks :mrgreen: So strip the frame, strip the paint (for that brushed aluminium look), and some choice accesorising for a more vintage kinda vibe, and flip the bars for that proper boardtrack look.
The bike will be called 'The Goon' after Eric Powell's comic of the same name. Have got a few ideas on how to incorporate the theme into the build :wink: I figure his style and look fit well with a 20s/30s inspired board tracker
