I love a good frankenbike. I have mad respect for people who can turn old frames into super versatile bikes like this.

It’s honestly easier than it looks. If you’re ever looking for a little side project, I highly recommend getting on FB or Craigslist and sourcing an old steel mountain bike or hybrid frame and restoring it or making it into a frankenbike. The only drawback is parts scarcity and inflation of old frame prices, but every now and then a gem will show up. Also a lot of cheap parts and tools on Amazon. Watched a lot of YouTube (Spindat and OldShovel) and read a lot of Reddit (r/bikewrench and r/xbiking) to learn what works and what doesn’t.
