>>1361438I've posted it before in these threads, it cost me £100 I think back in 2010/2011. The bar tape wasn't my choice by the way, it came like that. I keep meaning to put some black tape on there.
There's so many fucking things wrong with it. Like I say two of the sprockets are fucked, I think, because the chain keeps slipping. And the bottom bracket is fucked too - I really should just buy a Shimano cartridge one, I think I've identified the right size (spindle size, cartridge size, threading, etc.) and it should fit.
Since this pic I've installed a front derailleur too. It did originally have one but I took it off to ride this bike as a single-speed for a while, but I'm in a hilly area now so I need gears again, and I don't know what happened to my old front derailleur. It was pretty seized and shitty though. Also I've already managed to break the new one slightly - there's a single bolt which holds the cage together and on mine it just pulled apart really easy, the bolt (and threading I guess) just pulled straight out. I've taped it up, seemed the cheapest way to try and fix it.
