I made a couple of changes today, I hadn’t planned so I would have 7 for tomorrow, but it leaves me with 5 to get some climbers back inNormally a week or so after
Normally a week or so after the race ends 😉1. This isn’t about teaching
1. This isn’t about teaching new cyclists any lessons OR telling them where to buy their bikes and parts. NOR buying parts and then expecting their LBS to build it for them.This is about showing what can be done on a strict budget, there have been a few new posters here asking about bikes on a budget, so I thought I’d try and show an alternative way for it to be done.
2. Yes, Road.cc does publish suggestions and reviews, many of them are higher end, but they also recommend cheaper ones, NOTHING on this sort of budget restraint though.
3. Many new posters here have been MTB’rs and coming here for information on getting into road bikes. So they may well have a bit of knowledge.
Tools, for building a bike from scratch, you are not talking many tools that people or their friends might not have around, screw drivers, allen keys and simple things like that. OK, not everyone is going to have a chain whip, cassette tool and a BB tool. BUT that’s an issue for another thread.
Its not about stock bikes not having the best parts and having to upgrade, its a simple exercise/challenge that I am suggesting for a few of us to try WITHOUT buying anything, to see what kind of things we can come up with on a budget.

I think a Road.cc gadget show challenge on the cards…..You know where they try and get the best items for X amount of cash…..Obviously we are not going out and buying the items.
Lets just say £300….A week and see what you can find?
SO look on ebay for finished auctions or ones that are finishing soon, remember and save the links, because I will need proof.
This is about BUILDING a bike, not just buying one, so you’ll need a frame, wheels, groupo and handlebars. Don’t worry about cables and a saddle….Who’s in?
I’ll set up a thread for it soon and we’ll see the bargains that can be had 😉
