Current Projects chat and miscellany

just practicing the ability to not quote the whole lot.
and i'm trying exactly the same maybe trying to squeeze down to about 450£

my build list is going
frame- £140
bars+stem- £30
crankset+bb- £115
wheels- £100
saddle- £60
carbon forks- £40
brake levers- £20
total- £505

Although I've just realised I haven't accounted for tyres, tubes, a brake, the cable and bar tape. So it might be £550 overall.
It would be easy to save money on things like the cranks, forks and saddle though.

Your money should go on the bits that spin, so BB, HS and HUBS being priority.
Your wheels cost less than your frame.... and your saddle costs more than half of the wheels.
Something tells me yourenotdoingitright.
