Yes i know the geometry of the frame is wrong but go easy because i’m only 16 and haven’t got the money for top quality parts 
I know you guys like the lugged steel frames and i tried doing a conversion with a Schwinn before this bike, and i don’t know how you do it 
Anyway, here’s the breakdown of parts.
Frame and fork: Black steel from LBS
Headset, stem and handlebar tape: BBB
Bars: Charge Slice
Front wheel: Mavic Cxp-12 rim with shimano 105 hub
Rear wheel: Custom made in Lbs with novatec hub and mystery rim
Crankset: F*cked if i know :L
Chainring: 48t
Saddle: Bontrager
Seatpost: A silver one
Pedals: BLB
Straps: BLB Lockdown
Cog: 15t
Chain: KMC
Ratio (48×15) works out as 86 gear inches

Can’t hate that you’re trying, and that bad boy looks like it’s ready for the road. You can find many things online that will show you how to convert if you’re not familiar. You basically just start unbolting things. It’s very easy.

actually you already seem to have learned some of the harder things like threadless fork assembly and stem-saddle spacing. Anything else is out there to be read. And your use of color is very tasty.enjoy.

Great ride. Good steel frame, blk and silver can’t go wrong, red tire stripes add nice touch. Bikes that get ridden are the best. Save the 200 dollar saddle, the 300 dollar crank and the 2000 dollar wheel set for the addicted. Save your self before it’s too late!

I don’t know about bombproof but it’s a nice first build. I’ve done a few conversions and just doing it, learning as you go really worked for me because I learn hands-on.

a good quality attempt at young age.

Thanks for the comments guys
@JaKrazyM8 those tyres are Schwalbe blizzard, and they ride great. I’ll probably get the same again when they wear out, or maybe one’s with a blue stripe. Oh, and it gets ridden every single day

@sloman The stem saddle spacing happened on it’s own really. I’m 6″2 with very long legs, so if you saw it from a side view the saddle would probably look a bit high, but since i have a positive angle stem i guess they even out. Same reason i got the bulls (apart from looking badass of course). I just raised the saddle until i felt it was right and left it at that
