Gonna leave the Dad bike for now. Nephew is a priority, his old bike is toast. Rear wheel is knackered, mech hanger bent, pedals knackered too. Would rather him not spend any money on it when he could do with a bigger bike anyway.
I can get one of these frames for about 280 quid
What do we think would be a realistic cost for putting together the rest? Budget is tight but I want something that will last and not hold him back. No heavy steel fork uppers, decent serviceable wheels etc
Will all need to be second hand parts
Dropper post already acquired from Dammit, I’ve got some finishing kit.
