There was no chainguard on it when I got it. I suppose I might fit one once I am happy with all the drivetrain stuff.
It does weigh a ton anyway, but yes, I think you're right that chopping it down a bit would be the way to go. It'll be a nuisance stuffing all that seatpost into the frame.
The paint is in worse nick than that photo really shows up.
What, no chainguard?
Nothing to stop you chopping down the new seatpost, but I doubt weight-saving is a major concern on this bike.
