CHEAP BIKES! TREK 830 Antelope Frame-Up Build #cheapbikebuildoff

Picked up this bad boy [frameset] from Randy's Recycled Cycles in downtown Denver Colorado just before it shut its doors in December 2013. Someone had clearly picked it up from ‪@WheatRidgeCyclery‬ at some point since it still has their sticker on the downtube. Found some Suntour parts to equip it with and we're off to the races. This one snuck up on me since I've been workin n travelin n using my free time to build a solid commuter [see the Gary Fisher videos on my channel]. Fortunately between the old parts I already had and ‪@bikestogetherdenver1272‬ used parts bins, I was able to get it together just in time. Things I would address before depending on this ling long-term: take up some chain slop... well, new chain really, fresh tubes & tires, lights... but that honestly might be it. I try to put more details & context here in the description but this was a timed job and its all in the long-winded video you probably have playing right now as you read this. Enjoy!
