Wotcha.
New to this - so cant post from scratch..
Been monitoring this forum for a while, - and will bore y'all with a question that keeps coming up..
Bike to work scheme question - Just got into the track (Herne Hill) And would like a bike I can commute on, but also (potentially) use on the track.. Ridden a 56 Fuji and loved it..
I'd like to build from scratch, but cant ignore the 50% off the cycle scheme gets you + you pay it off over 12 months.. Bonus.
I have to use Evans... Was thinking
Fuji Track
Brooks Swallow
Shimano 105
Cane Creek Lever
Better tyres (Armadillos??)
18t cassette to commute..
Plus I like the look of some soma major taylor bars with black tape.. but need to shop elsewhere..
Any thoughts? - will end up costing about 280 all in (cash over 12 months..). Not sure I can get a better deal from scratch, and I can upgrade from there.... (what else should I consider)
Was originally going for a genesis flyer - but cant stomach this years green....
Appreciate your views, and looking forward to associated sledging..
