My Leader Shadow FGFS build.

Hi everyone.

I am new to FG and the forum and I am in the process of building my first FGFS bike.

I already have a Leader Shadow frame and fork and a headset but due to my lack of experience in this bike genre I am unsure of what are the best components for the rest of the bike.

Could anyone please advise what would be the best wheelset/cranks/BB/bars/stem/saddle?

I intend to buy many of these items second hand, hopefully from the forum over the next few weeks, as far as time and funds allow. My budget is not massive so will probably save for a couple of weeks then buy as many of them at the same time as possible.

Thanks for your help.

What's your budget?

200 - 250 if its possible? if not I will save up a bit more and be patient!

cheers

Ive got an Odyssey Elementary stem you can have for £15 posted. A bit ratty looking but doesnt slip. Worth over £60

What size droputs do you have? 14 or 10mm?

I have also got either an Eclat Oz Brown Leather Pivotal seat or a Fat Demolition seat. The Demolition is as new, the Oz is a bit worn due to the material, but no rips or tears...

Oh and a set of 700c wheels. Think they may be Charge due to the rim tape. They are wide enough to take 45c rims. I currently run 700x45c Resist Nomads. Open to offers on these really. They take car valve tubes also...

Hi,

In negotiations with TM for a job lot though I would still need a saddle...

PM me details on price of each please?

And Mancini, the drop-outs are 10mm

Thanks

Have got the stem on here that would work well for your build - £15

Hows the build coming on? Have you received the seat yet?

Hi Mark,

The saddle came today but was out so will pick it up from the Delivery Office friday..

Build is planned for Saturday so barring any issues it should be ready for a test ride on Sunday!

I'll post pics when it's done.

Cheers

Awesome. Which other parts have you got fo it?

The headset is Hope and the bar/stem is Truvativ.

Going to use plastic pedals to start with before upgrading to something better when I get some decent straps like HoldFast

Safe. Looks dope. I run Eclat BmX plastic pedals, with holdfast straps. Tey hold up pretty well.
