made a STARBIKE from an abandoned free bike

it was totally seized, the chain a ball of rust, brakes shot, cables frayed frame scratched, rusty, tyres flat (and burst tubes) broken pedals, etc, etc. spent a couple of weeks on it, bought a few things and done a lot of tidying up!

couldnt resist the SQ42 logo for the bike frame logo.
mudguards as I dont like getting all wet!
the obligatory. can we still print these like this?
bit of clipper showing here
new pedals
lights and stupidly cheap mudguards (like £2 - for both!) and a little bag thing for my bike lock, pump and multi-tool thing to live in
still see some wear on the forks, not much I can do there, cant repaint it or anything as it will just rub off again. its ok, it still works. new brake calipers, pipes, cables and handle activators, front and back, everything needed for &7.50.
bottle holder, I will never use but looks cool. and a little bit of grabby hands moth on the upright.

stickers didnt come out as well as i wanted, cant really tell what they are of. I would do it differently if I redid it again. bike rides lovely now though, so I can offset my fuel cost to work a bit, when the weather is good.
