Turns Out an Old MTB Frame Makes an Amazing Mini Velo

After building my first mini velo using one of the most inappropriate frames I could find, I decided it was time to follow my own advice. In this video I build another budget bike this time starting with an old mountain bike frame. If you've ever wondered whether an old MTB frame can make a great mini velo, this build should give you a good idea of what's involved, what works, and what I'd do differently.
