Hey everyone,
Working on a bike build. Road bike, charbon, will have custom paint job. Also looking to keep cost as LOW as possible. Looking for the best money savers. I know people will say I should buy the frame first but because of cost it will likely be last and I’m buying parts now to keep me from bailing out.
So, bike is mostly for pleasure, maybe a backup in a tight spot. Possibly looking to go 10 speed since my TT bike is 10 speed and that gives me readily available backup parts. Although I have a full, I’ll be it beat up 10 speed I keep perminantly on the trainer that’s all 105 so I do have functioning back up parts.
So those with experience? Where are the money savers? I’d like all new or near new parts so buying used is possible but would have to be barely used. Wheels should be new, I have a good saddle already, handlebars from an old bike already, and a stem that should fit or at least be good enough for a short day.
I still lapped everyone on the couch!
