  • Respect to Dani for engaging in debate - however i cant help but feel that you give off a certain naivety, that i dont quite buy - anyone who has been doing what you have been doing for the last couple of years should know damn well that the prices you have quoted for parts are utter crap.

    I just cannot believe that you have only just become aware that Brakes arent £100, and and as for cheap frames if you looked on here you would find em, let alone before you bothered going to the many bike jumbles up and down the country.

    +1.
    Why does someone who has spent 3 years building singlespeed bikes have to goto Evans to get a price for fitting brakes?

    As for the claims on the website that Ian MacPherson has made millions in the bicycle trade, really? Surely then he would be able to recognise such a flawed business model? As has been said so many times a restoration (be it bicycle, motorbike, car, furniture etc) is very rarely going to be worth anything near the sum of the parts.
