About this Bike
This Intec F5 buildup for Lisa was kind of a special one for me. Back in the days when I still was a messenger, I had a bike very similar to this one. It’s frame has a classic road bike geometry but with a little more tire clearance to fit fenders. So with those and a dynamo hub it makes a perfect all-weather / all-day fast and reliable ride for messlife or commuting. You can run it singlespeed, fixedgear or like in this case with a 1×8 drivetrain.
Built in June 2018
