Hi there!
I've started a budget TT/Tri build to work on over the next year as a kind of pet project while all the events I wanted to do are cancelled.
I decided that on a students budget I would try and build a second hand bike from frame upwards from deals/ parts I could scour from the internet. However, I'm a bit new to all this so would love some recommendations on parts/ hacks that you've found when building a bike.
I've started with an second hand aluminium Trek Equinox 5, complete with a new rear hanger and new ish bottom bracket.
I have a list of parts that I need and would love some recommendations on what would work on a budget.

- Full groupset
- Carbon fork with 1 1/8th
- crank and pedals
- Any kind of basebar/tt bar intergrated system (aiming for a clean front end) something like 3t
- brakes
- wheels can wait for closer to race time.
