I was thinking of getting an old bike and splashing out on a nice fork, front wheel and brake. Say, £300. This would give me a weird bloody bike, with v brake and shoddy old wheel on the rear, and a snazzy front end.
When I'd saved some more cash up, I could do stem/seatpost/bars/saddle. Then the final round would be frame/rear wheel/rear brake. Failing that I could keep a ratty old single speed MTB and get a geared MTB later on Cyclescheme.
Who knows? My bike-buying plans change weekly/daily/by the minute anyway. I'll check the skip on the way home.
