Frame anyone?

hehe i'm an indecisive fscker.. everyone else can suffer with me :)

read the thread about me losing my parking spot.. fscked if i'm catching the tube daily! stinking hot sweaty claustrophobic mess (still runs better than Melbourne's)

don't say that... i'm moving there next June!

i have to agree with hippy although i managed to build my own winter bike for less than 200 but that did take me 4 months and lots of effort sourcing cheap bits.

you only need to replace the rear wheel on the fuji at first. and not at first, as hippy said. you can wait five/ten minutes.

Your loss, sucker! ;)

melbournes a nice place, but it's getting worse and worse as it keeps on expanding. with food, work, travel; just as bad or worse than london ;).

hippy You wont need to replace the wheels on the Fuji straight up. Fit a brake and ride it.
The money you save on Tube fares you can put towards a new frame or replacing components..
Still keep an eye on this frame as well as ebay in general but you will find most 'bargains' are ramped up to stupid territory by dumb bidders.
That's what I'd do on low funds. Off the shelf is always cheaper. Everyone here will say build your own but if you've got no other bike I say "fsck that! get on a bike asap!"

this is what i did and i'm not regretting it one little bit!! i got lemond fillmore (bit more expensive than the fuji track) with straight handlebars and new brakes, but am already planning various bits of other stuff i would like to do soon - and i'm definitely saving on travel already, i can feel it :)

I've not saved a penny on travel. I bought my pista for £400 or so, and since then i've spent about £200 on it. And i'm in the process of sourcing parts for another bike... God help me (and my bank. I hope they don't read this forum!).

They better not fsck it up too much while I'm away or there'll be skulls cracked when I get back! Grrr...
