I had this old steel framed bike for over 20 years. It is a standard steel frame, it was originally bought as a 10 speed mountain bike. Its true value is in the memories of riding it through high school, university, my first job and going for rides when I was dating my wife. I passed it on to my younger brother when I was leaving to go away with my family to work away from home. He did not take very good care of it. I was sorting out some stuff at my parents home recently and came across my faithful frame.
I would like to rebuild it. I can handle myself with the repairs, and I basically have enough tools to fix it up.
Where I need advice it where to get decent alloy parts at reasonable prices online. and what are good parts to buy. it has treaded head set and bottom bracket. I would like to set it up as a single speed bike. very simple maybe a bullhorn handle bar I will have to sand and spray the frame, because it has quite a bit of rust.
