bought that one for 7$ on TEMU ... i was expecting something that would fall in multiples pieces on first ride but, nope ... equal build quality as the original saddle i replaced ... and way more comfortable
Rear derailleur and cassette (also got the 8S shifter SRAM EX1, since the cable from the Shimano, unexpectedly, broke
)

basically he got me the initial black/red chain i wanted but did not take because it was 116chf (i voiced my concern and he swore that he did not get it at that price
)and a pair of Look Trail Grip pedale (way more expensive than the "ultimate shinbone destroyer" also a one piece aluminium but that's the only similarity, only 8 studs (abs? compared to quite a few more in steel), reflectors and a camouflage rubber cover made by Vibram(R) )
hum ... now i need to paint all the green part of the frame and change the stickers on the battery to red ... although with the pedals ...might not be needed ...
