A 1x9 Hybrid built with a mix of parts bin stuff based around a steel frame and carbon fork. It is a fun commuter and could make a neat little flat bar cross bike. A lot of the nice parts were found in parts bins at various shops I have worked at or from friends so it wasn't quite as expensive as it would be all new. The bike is a ton of fun to ride and is great on city streets or on some of the gravel paths I have taken it on. I haven't had just a flat bar beater in a long time. Pictures are from when it was a 1x7 before I had given it the 9 speed upgrade

Very neat (and cool) build. Not that you need it, but I thoroughly approve of a sensible (and reasonably decent quality) bike build. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I had always wanted to build up a parts bike and because I don't abide by low quality parts I had to festoon it with some decent stuff.
The idea of parts was I couldn't spend over a certain amount for individual parts if I had to purchase them though at least 12 parts of the build were from the bin or given to me by customers or old co-workers
