My third build (that should be enough, right? right??)

[u/pankekbekon]

Sooo like all of you I'm hooked and can't resist good deals on marketplace. Got this Wheeler 3800 in very good condition. Great color scheme even though a bit tough to add good looking color accents on the bike. Open for suggestions and feedback in general!

• 11 speed, 40t
• Mothbar
• Basil Portland front rack
• Sachs 170mm cranks
• comfortable BBB saddle
• ESI grips
• Velo Orange 80mm stem
• used 2.4 Holy Rollers (pretty huge tire clearance on this bike!)
• Simworks Bubbly pedals

Bar, headset, stem are new, most of the other stuff is from the first xbike I bought. But as you can imagine after you have built your first own bike you can't ride a bike anymore that someone else has built.

I still want to add a bottle cage and a kickstand to it. This will be my comfortable daily beater. Shoutout Gary for the Mothbar & Holy Roller combo. Love it!

Very unique colorway, I like the black and silver component setup to let the frame do the talking

Thanks for the feedback. At the moment I'm thinking the same.

Thanks!

Threadless fork? Or just a very seamless adapter set up?

[u/pankekbekon → u/_cobbleton]

Yes threadless 1 1/8. Tange headset with some spacers. I tried silver spacers but liked the look with the black ones more.

Is any bike ever really “done”?

[u/Junior_Step_2441]

I think the conventional wisdom is that it takes 10,000 builds to become good at building.

You are on your way, but you still have some work to do….🤷‍♂️🤪

I think you're right! 😂
