Building a Sekai ATB

So, earlier today I posted a photo of the ATB bike I picked up on Craigslist the other day. My plan is to build this thing up into a commuter/touring bike. I do love those old 80s ATB bikes except for them handlebars and stem; terrible.

Anyway, went on a small shopping spree at Niagara Cycles online (one of the best online bike shops IMO), plus free shipping when you spend more than $100.

1 x Sunlite Front Alloy Cable Hanger 1" Silver (832) = $3.55
2 x Kool-Stop Eagle Claw II Bicycle Brake Pads - Dual Comp Black/Salmon (432853) = $19.98
1 x KMC Z-72 7.1mm 6-7-8spd Gry/Brn Chain (425982) = $11.05
1 x Origin8 - Tiki Handlebars, Silver (431616) = $18.49
2 x Kenda Kross Plus Front/Rear Slick XC Tire, 26 x 1.95" (51645) = $19.98
3 x Avenir Regular SCHRADER Valve Tube, 26" x 1.90" to 2.125" (433399) = $8.61
2 x Jagwire Basics Lined Brake Cable & Housing Assembly (1 Brake) (402723) = $4.40
1 x Jagwire Hyper Derailleur DIY Cable Kit, Black (406271) = $15.53
2 x Avenir Economy Bottle Cage Black (434231) = $5.74

Shipping: $0.00
Total: $107.33
