I started with this stock Alpine Guadalupe Mountain bike. I have stripped it and swapped most parts for a mock up a few weeks ago until I heard there was going to be a build off. It has remained unchanged and unfinished since and still has a long way to go. My inspiration for this build is the book "The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles".
This is how it sits today, May 1st, still in the initial mock up stage with lots of work to do.
