Should be a good little project, have fun!
I’m curious why the frame doesn’t cut the mustard for you? Heat treated, oversized, double butted, lugged steel American made frame is nothing to sneeze at.
powder coating is roughly $150 and all the components are still good, so all in all, I’ll be under $350 with everything greased and new bearings if I have it powder coated.
