Built this up as a trail riding ~commuter~ with mostly parts bin stuff I found on the internet. Upgraded a few bits and pieces to work well in Manila traffic. Sold to a dear friend, who enjoys it just as much as I did. Have fun, Lanz!

Current Stage Info:
Full on commuter/beater that I take literally everywhere. Added fenders for the oncoming rainy season. Changed to knobbier tires because I needed the extra grip when I go on trails and removed the biggest ring as I barely use it lmao. Saw and bought the used MKS MT-Es for $10 (USD) and feels great to use.

Thanks!
The cantis were great, until their springs got worn out.
