Grabbed the bike for 80eur from a local online market with all original parts and swapped on some stuff found laying around at home like saddle, bars, Tioga levers, 10sp cassette and derailleur and pedals.

The fork is dead, probably crushed elastomers, otherwise runs like a beast. Currently planning to swap bigger tires (race king 2.2"), single chainring in front and probably a rigid fork, though haven't yet decided on that. Would be fun to repair the Marzocchi Zokes if I can find parts

"Let me guess: you need more?" the build.

Sure, but ends up as the one you actually ride

Was gonna say it feels a bit weird to see a suspension fork on a bike with road handlebars. You'd surely make it a lot lighter/faster if you switch it for a rigid one. That is, if you go for a road-like build.

It's a bit more gravel/monstercross than a road bike, so the suspension fork kinda fits.

Also I kinda like the look of it, apart from the adapter for stem lol
