Cheap as somethings stripped, polished, clear coated

Shimano with crap bearings, i machined out the hub and pressed in some sealed ones.
Only cool thing on this bike, old school carbon disc, brand unkown but spins lovely - brased up cassette
Sugino Mighty, actually this is nice 2.
Zeus/Velo, machined some grooves and banged numbers into the post.
, made up some alloy bearing caps - hate those plastic ones.
42/17, little bit gentle but good for the wife

My first build and actually my first bike since being a spotty BMXing teenager. I get a kick out of recycling what should be thrown out. Powder coated frame/forks/pedals. The alloy bits i stripped i some nasty stuff from the local chemical supplier, polished on a DIY machine, then clear coated using magic 'Nyalic' product. made up a few bits and bobs on a small DIY lathe like chain tensioners that tug on the skewers, caliper drop mount and said pedal caps.
