Despite the rough and dull aluminium frame parts, the condition is better that the Alan Carbonio.
This will be a wonderful build. I've found a nice donor bike in good condition: a Giant Escaper with a full Shimano Deore LX group set.
There's a lot of polishing to be done, both parts and frame kit. Everything has to be clean, but I'm not going to "Ray Dobbins" this stuff. All parts should stay original and also this bike should be able to go into the woods and into the dirt. I don't have showroom bikes.
Note: the black piece in the seat stay is just a cover. There's no suspension.
