This is what I'm thinking about atm, I don't really have the knowledge/tools to build myself a bike + I'm living in halls and have a tiny toom so I don't really have anywhere to keep all my shit. I just want to get cheapish OTP and get out on rides whilst I'm learning more through these threads and friends, whilst I'm saving some funds for building my own.
When I brought a 2nd hand bike, I don't even know how to tinkle with it in the first place, the stuff I mentioned were easily done without even the knowledge of certain stuff;
2nd hand bike
remove all the bike beside the brakes (or just the front), get a new rear wheel build by your LBS, learn how to add/remove chain and you're sorted.
unless the BB and crankset is damaged, just get them to put a cheap Andes one and you're sorted, yet you still be paying just half the price of the Plug and pretty much half the weight!
