The rest of the parts will come from my old Dahon speed such as fenders, handles bars and post, brakes etc. some of these are new. Maybe the grip shifter needs replacements.The wheels will be original and I ll see later if they need to be replaced. Pictures of the project will be posted as I go along. What do you think? Suggestions?Thanks

I added a picture of what it would almost look like ( not my picture)
The color is fine.

I am glad people are taking advantage of these frames. I remember that when I began to talk about them in 2018 here, people were quite doubtful about them. I just got myself a Storm and Gust 16" frameset, both for under $200.
