Hey everyone,
Picked up this custom frame built by Rev106, in the style of a late 70’s Motomag. Named the bike Tres (03) since it’s #3 of 10.
I thought this one is build thread worthy. Here’s what I’m working with.
Frame - Has some rough edges that need touching up and I’m debating on actually taking it to get professionally painted. Color choice is still up in the air.
Mongoose double clamp stem -
Bendix 76 and high flanged Schwinn hub on S2 rims - They’ll be laced up with new spokes, hubs serviced and buffed out.
Cr-Mo 175 Cranks and a 44T Mongoose Snowflake -
Schwinn Sidewinder Forks -
Here’s a rough draft of what it’s looking like.
I’m eyeing a set of Al’s Rapid Red Transit bars, but those seem a bit cruiser-esque.
Made a few recent trades and that pushed the build for Tres along pretty quick.
