Hi, im building a bike from scratch. Firstly, to get a cool bike, but secondly to learn about how they work and so forth. However, im needing a little help on a few things to get me started.
I wanted to ask your opinions on what frame i should buy. My situation is that im a student so i dont have a large budget for the frame, probably around £100-£120, however, i do want a good frame which is light enough and without any dinks or problems. Could you point me in the right direction as far as brands are concerned and what to look out for, as ive been on eBay and i cant really tell which is a deal and which is a rip-off.
I wanted to know whether there are any parts of the bike which you would advise spending alot of money on, like the cranks or wheels...
Thanks -- MIKE TV
